I have a 6000# capacity hitch, ball mount, and trailer ball 2 5/16. Is this product rated to handle this type of tow setup? Thank you.

Our hitch locks have the same capacity as a standard hitch pin. If you are worried about strength you could go with a stainless steel model like part # e98882, but since your hitch capacity is 6,000 pounds, part # e99039 would be fine. It takes quite a bit of force to shear a 5/8 pin. Usually the ball will shear off or the ball mount bend before anything else fails. I have not heard of anyone breaking any of hitch pins or hitch locks.
