What size hitch ball shank does this have? The part that goes through the hole. Or are they all a standard size?

It can take either a 1 1/4 inch dia or use the spacer (which I use) if you run a ball with only a 1inch shank we use ours towing a tent trailer because our rear suspension was bottoming out makes towing so much better. Great product, good quality.

What is the rise/drop with the included shank?

Not sure offhand, it was enough for my Jeep Cherokee. But now I tow with a Ram and had to get the longer trunnion. The original one was about an inch short on 4x4. My trailer ball cup is about 20” off the ground.

Will this hitch work on a trailer with 350 to 450 tongue weight and 3k to 3.5k weight

When I bought this, I believe it’s rated fir up to 600lbs tongue weight. My trailer is 450lbs tongue weight. Trailer is almost 4,000lbs. Tows great. No issues.

Is the any drilling or welding required?
