Question:
I am looking for a Class IV 6+ ball mount with a longer shank to accommodate my tow tuff hitch mounted mud flaps. Do you have anything in your inventory that would work?

Helpful Expert Reply:
I'm assuming that you need a 6 inch drop for a 2 inch receiver, is that correct?
The highest capacity ball mount we offer in that particular category would be the Curt Heavy Duty forged ball mount, part # C45342 which has a 17K capacity, a 6 inch drop and measures 9-1/2 inches in length measured horizontally from the hitch pin hole to the hole where the ball installs. The distance from the center of the hole to the bend in the ball mount is 3 inches. From what I read, the Tuff Hitch mud flaps require 1 inch of free space on the shank of the ball mount between the face of the receiver and the bend in the ball mount's shank.
So, if the distance from the middle of the hitch pin to the face of the receiver is no more than 2 inches, the Curt ball mount would be a tight squeeze, but it should fit.
