• How to Measure Ball Mount Rise for Draw-Tite Sportframe Ball Mount # 3594 on a 2002 Buick Regal
  Ball mount rise, or drop, is determined by inserting the ball mount into the hitch on your vehicle and measuring from the top of the hitch opening to the top of the ball mount platform. I added a photo showing how the rise and length would be measured on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 3594. We also have an informational article that explains how to choose the correct ball mount for your application. All Class I and Class II trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru Forester with a Curt Hitch # C12100
  It sounds like you have determined the correct amount of rise you would need in order for you to tow your trailer level. But just for good measure I attached a link to the right that details how to pick the correct rise/drop ball mount for a setup. The part # 3594 that you referenced would fit your hitch and would give you the correct amount of rise, but since this ball mount is designed for Class I hitches it will have a lower capacity than Class II ball mounts. So as long as your trailer...

• Why do Some Ball Mounts Have a Drop and Rise and Others Only have a Rise
  Some ball mounts, generally Class I and Class II ball mounts, are designed by the manufacturer for use in the rise position only. These ball mount designs are intended for use with vehicles that require a rise only and would be too low to the ground to ever need a lower ball mount. Ball mounts listed with a rise only should not be used in the lowered position because the manufacturer has not tested them for use in that position. Some Class I and Class II ball mounts, like item # 3592,...

• Towing a Trailer with 2014 Mustang GT vs 1999 Honda Civic Coupe
  I did some checking in the the owners manuals for both the 2014 Ford Mustang GT and the 1999 Honda Civic Coupe for you. The owner's manual for the 1999 Civic Coupe instructs that the vehicle is not designed for and should not be used to tow a trailer. I was able to find the 3.7L and 5.0L Mustang have a maximum trailer weight capacity of 1,000 pounds. Per the owner's manual, the Shelby GT should not be used to tow a trailer. The biggest concern in towing with the Mustang will be ground...

• Does Suspension Sag Factor When Picking Out Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount
  Sounds like you are asking about how to pick out a ball mount that allows the trailer to sit as level as possible. Ideally you go with the rise/drop that allows the trailer to sit totally level with it loaded. Since significant sag isn't always present it may not have been addressed directly enough in our help article on the subject. But when I recommend a ball mount for someone I typically will recommend going with the drop that's a little higher than measured for this reason. But suspension...

• Recommended Ball Mount Draw Bar For 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver With 4 Inch Rise
  The 3/4 inch diameter is a typical size for the 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers. Normally the 1 inch diameter hitch ball is used on a 2 inch receiver ball mount. I have linked the page to the ballmounts that are available for your 4 inch rise and 1-1/4 inch receiver. I recommend the Sportframe Drawbar 4" Rise 2000 Kit # 3594 which has a 10 inch length from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball with 4 inch rise. I recommend the 2 inch hitch ball # 19258 or the 1-7/8 inch hitch ball...

  The proper draw bar for your Draw-Tite hitch, part # 24797 is in fact the draw bar you were looking at, part # 3594. This draw bar uses a 3/4 inch shank diameter ball, so if you need a 2 inch ball you should use part # 19258.

If you do not want to drill your hitch, I would not unless you have experience with precisely drilling metal,...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Subaru Impreza Sedan
  For a trailer hitch for your 2016 Subaru Impreza Sedan I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 24960. Please note that due to the design of the vehicle and how hitches have to be made to fit it the cross tube and receiver will be visible below the bottom rear fascia. None of the options have a hidden cross tube. It sounds like you will be doing some towing so the recommended ball mount is # 3594 and it comes with a pin and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For...

• What is the Proper Rise/Drop Ball Mount for a 2006 Honda Civic
  The recommended drawbar for a 2006 Honda Civic with Class I hitch is part # 3593. The hitch manufacturers recommend draw bars based on the weight capacity of the hitch and vehicle and the trailer coupler height of trailers that fall in that weight capacity. Part # 3593 is the proper amount of rise for most trailers that fall under 2,000 pounds. The rise on part # 3593 is 2-1/8 inch so if this rise will not keep the trailer level, chances are that trailer should not be towed with your vehicle. The...

• Which is Correct Ball Mount for 1997 Chevrolet Lumina w/ Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24628
  The recommended ball mount to use on a 1997 Chevrolet Lumina with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 24628 is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 3592. The ball mount that you referenced, part # 3594 has too much of a rise and is not recommended by Draw-Tite to be used on the Chevrolet Lumina. With Class I and II hitches, the ball mount recommended by the hitch manufacturer must be used, not doing so will void the hitch warranty. I have linked an FAQ on hitch ball mounts.

• 1-1/4-Inch Ball Mount with 4-Inches of Drop
  Some lighter-duty ball mounts such as the Class I Draw-Tite # 3594 cannot be used in the drop position because there would not be enough room for the coupler to get around the hitch ball. The short part of the shank would prevent this. For a 1-1/4-inch ball mount with about 4-inches of drop you can use Class II ball mount # 36078 or Class I ball mount # 3593 with 2-3/4-inches of drop, or # C45022 with 3-1/4-inches of drop.

• How to Pick Out Correct Ball Mount for 2015 Ford F-150
  I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height...

• Ball Mount Recommendation that is 4 inches Shorter than the Sportframe Ball Mount part # 3594
  I believe the closest thing we have to the Sportframe Drawbar part # 3594 that you referenced that is 4 inches shorter would be the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45027. The length of this ball mount from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole is 6-1/4 inches and it has a rise of 2-5/8 inches. Basically this ball mount is 4 inches shorter than the ball mount you referenced but its rise is about 1-1/2 inches lower.

• 7-Way for 2017 Honda CR-V and Ball Mount With 2 Inch Hitch Ball
  For a 2017 Honda CR-V, you said 1" trailer hitch receiver, but I believe you meant it was a Class I hitch and had a 1-1/4" receiver, as there are no hitches with a 1" receiver. So assuming that is accurate let's start with the easy part, which is the ball mount (also called drawbar), and 2" hitch ball. For that you will need the following: - Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3594 - 2" Hitch Ball # 19258 Next, since your 2017 Honda CR-V has a 4-way already, you can add an adapter that will attach...

• Is It Okay To Tow A Small Trailer With a 2014 Ford Fiesta Hatchback

When it comes to wiring you can either use the ZCI # 119250KIT that you referenced, or the Universal Kit # 119190KIT if you're wanting something a little more cost effective. The universal wiring means you do need to splice into your OEM wiring which...
