Availability of Aluminum Adjustable Ball Mount With Long Shank
Question:
Does Fastway have a down with a longer distance from hitch pin to angle?? This one is 4.5 do they have a 5.5?

We do offer an adjustable ball mount that has a longer shank, but Fastway doesn't offer anything longer than the 4-1/2 inches provided by the # DTSTBM6800-2S.
Weigh safe offers a similar ball mount with a 8 inch maximum drop and a 9 inch maximum rise with a 12.5K capacity, part # WS8-2. The maximum distance between the hitch pin hole and the point where the shank takes the downward angle is 6 inches, as shown in the photo I've provided. The ball mount features a built-in tongue weight scale, and includes a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch trailer ball. This ball mount is actually a little bit less expensive than the Fastway ball mount you'd asked about.
I've linked you to a product demonstration video featuring the Weigh Safe Ball Mount I recommended.
