Hey Vin,
If you notice on the Curt Multi-Ball Mount # C45650 there are 2 bolt holes depending on what size ball you are using. If used with the 2-15/16" ball the distance from pin hole to the back of the shank is 3-1/2". If you use 1-7/8" or 2" ball it is 2-3/4". I will attach a photo to better reflect that for you below.
What are you looking to tow using this?
