I do have some options for you though you'll be limited by capacity as most adjustable ball mounts without a hitch ball don't hold the weight capacity you requested. That said, they do have the drop and hitch ball hole size requirements you seek. I recommend Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount part # C45901 which offers up to a 6-3/4" drop and has a 6,000 lb weight capacity or the Gen-Y Phantom X Ball Mount part # GY87VR which offers up to a 6" drop and has a 7,000 lb weight capacity.

I have attached a full list of our adjustable ball mount (no hitch ball) selection below as well.
