I would be happy to help you out. On the CURT Ball Mount, # C45024, from the center of the hitch pin hole to the near end of the ball mount measures 1-1/2 inches.

From the center of the ball hole to the back edge of the ball platform towards the car measures 3-5/16 inches.

From the center of the hitch pin hole to the near edge of the ball platform is approximately 6-1/4 inches.

This is a Class I ball mount designed for use in a Class I trailer hitch. In Class I and II trailer hitches, you must use the ball mount recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer to be in compliance with the warranty.
