• Recommended Highest Rise Ball Mount for a 1-1/4" Hitch
  Hey Larry that's quite a bit of rise! They don't make those for 1-1/4" hitches but I can get you closeish. You'll want to start with the Curt Class I Drawbar item # C45024. It has a 5" rise from the top of the inside of the hitch receiver. This ball mount extends out 9-9/16" from the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. For a hitch ball, you'll want to use the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball item # C94CR. This will gain you an extra 1-1/2" of height over a standard...

• Why Don't Ball Mounts with Longer Shanks Reduce Towing Capacity
  When looking at the weight capacities on ball mounts that feature a longer shank, such as the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45024 that you recently purchased, you can comfortably follow its listed weight rating without having to reduce the capacity based on its length beyond the hitch receiver. I definitely understand your concern with this type of design, as the further out from the vehicle you get, the more leverage any tongue weight will be putting on the trailer hitch. This is definitely...

• Available Drawbars for 1-1/4 Inch Hitches with at Least a 5-inch Rise in the Shank
  The Curt bar # C45028 (5-3/8 inch rise or 6-inch drop) you referenced is one of 3 Curt drawbars we currently offer that will have a 5 inch or more rise in the shank. The reason other shanks may have a different rise is because it may have a different Class rating. I also pulled this drawbar from our warehouse and made a short video and diagram for you. Please note you can only use Class-I rated crossbars because your 1998 Volkswagen Cabrio only works with Class-I hitches. The two other...

• Will Draw Bar 36065 fit a 2012 Nisssan Sentra
  There is a drawbar with 5" of rise that will work for you, but Draw-Tite # 36065 is for use with Class II hitches only, and is not compatible with your Class I hitch, # 24794. Instead, you could use the Curt # C45024, a Class I draw bar which also gives you 5" of rise and will have no problems clearing your bumper with a length of 9-9/16". For a hitch pin you would want # F-4, and the hitch ball you want would either be 1-7/8" ball # C40001 or 2" ball # C40018.

• Drawbar Recommendation for a 2006 Chevy HHR with a Hidden Hitch # 60815
  I did a little research and found that the draw bar came with your Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, part # 60815 (no longer available), is the Sportframe Drawbar 4 inch Rise, part # 3594. Since your hitch is a Class I hitch it is not recommended that you use any drawbar other than the one that the hitch manufacturer recommends otherwise you will void your warranty.

• Drawbar Needed to Tow a Trailer Coupler 17 High w/ the Curt # C11496 on a 2011 Honda Accord
