99 4x4 Quad cab SB Hitch questions

So i have what seems to be the stock hitch on my 99 dodge. Im guessing class 3 because I think the rating on it say 6k and 10k. I just bought a triple axel toy hauler bumper pull and well its a big trailer and Im sure I need to upgrade to a class 4 hitch. Do they make a class 5 with a 2 inch reciever or are they all 2.5 inch? Or should i not even worry about it? Thanks in advance.

Forgot to snag the numbers off it. Rats. So a stock hitch should be good for this heavy set up? I have the WD hitch, but the seller told me I should upgrade the hitch for sure. id rather throw 250 bucks at air bags or beer for the fridge. But 250 for piece of mind is nice too.
