Question:
Im getting this ball mount and need a 2inch ball with, Im assuming, a 1inch diameter shank. Do I need a long shank? Thanks.

You will need to select a 2-inch hitch ball with a 1-inch diameter medium-length shank for use with Hidden Hitch Ball Mount # D-28. You can use Tow Ready 2-inch hitch ball # 63845. This ball has a 1-inch diameter shank of 2-1/8-inches in length and a rated capacity of 7500-lbs.
I have linked brief review videos for this ball mount and hitch ball.
If you wish to secure your ball mount to your hitch receiver we offer locks to do so, such as the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880.
