What is the dimension from the front of receiver to the pin hole?

The one I bought is 12 inches overall length (49120), with the center of the pin-hole being 2-1/2 inches back from the front of the receiver. I hope that helps.

Could I drill this to make it a short receiver extension? If so, what type of bit would be needed for this metal?

It is not hard metal, & can be cut & drilled with standard mettle bits & saws. The standard hitch goes all the way to the back of this short receiver. I can not imagine of any application for a 2" hitch would want it any shorter. I welded one on each side of an excavator bucket, put a 4'- 2"x2" steel in each one with wood planks across them to turn an excavator into a fork lift to shingle a roof.

What is the inside dimension?

I'm not sure of the exact I.D. but it is the same as a 2" reciever you would have on your truck. any accesory made for a 2" hitch would slide into it

Do these fit class 4 ball mounts or just class 3 ball mounts?

That depends on the structural integrity of the framing and welding to mount it on the vehicle. I'm sure that the piece itself can handle Class 4 loads (up to 10K lb.) If you can get a Class 4 ball on a 2" square bar that will plug into this, and your welding/framing is good, seems like it should be ok. But I'd suggest consulting a trailer hitch shop to be sure.
