• Where to Measure to Determine Correct Rise/Drop for Ball Mount
  Since there aren't any zero rise/drop ball mount options (shockingly) you might verify that your setup was measured in the right spots.

The part # D320 has a drop of 2 inches and comes with the tab needed for friction sway control. This probably would be close enough to what you'd need.

  The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the gusset welded onto the Curt # C45311 is 4 inches, as shown in the provided photo.

• What Ball Mount Is Needed for a 4x8 U-Haul Cargo Trailer with a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98841 when we installed it on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was 13" from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube.

• Ball Mount with 4 inch Drop, 2 inch Ball, and 10k Weight Capacity
  I have a similar solution that will work great for you but we don't have exactly what you are looking for with a hitch ball installed as well. So instead the best way to accomplish what you are looking for is with a fixed ball mount part # C45311 which has the 4 inches of drop, 10k capacity, and fits a 2 inch hitch. For a 2 inch ball to then fit this you'd want the # A-90 which also has a 10k capacity and you'd be set.
