Receiver of ball mounts? Weigh-safe has a 3" shank ball mount, among other shank sizes.
As far as WDH goes, I have yet to find one that is a 3" shank.

Reese has one, but it's straight out the back.....no drop. The only other one I've found is the weigh safe as mentioned. I'm not sure why there has been so much talk and disappointment that the SWB Job 2 trucks don't have them anymore, as they seem a bit useless.

I've been looking at the Bulletproof version. It's steel, and looks plenty stout. It also offers a pintle option. However, I'm not a huge fan of the 180 degree ball mount design, and it's quite an investment:

But other than those two I have yet to find another 3" anywhere. As far as WDH, nothing larger than 2 1/2 so far that I can find.

Only other option beyond what's been mentioned is the Gen Y hitch. Very expensive and very heavy though.
