I did not see the Q&A when I was using my cell phone.Thanks for the heads up as it did answer my question as this particular hitch does not need to be derated as some of the others.You get the whole 6K trailer rating and 600 pounds of tongue weight without having to be derated.
Instead, I would recommend looking at one of our extra or super extra long ball mounts like the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount, # 80232. This ball mount measures 16 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. This ball mount does not reduce the capacity of your hitch, but you will be limited to the 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight capacities.
