• Availability of Ball Mount With 3" Rise/Drop
  I'm not sure if you're looking for a 3" rise or drop but we have options for both so you don't need to worry about being off by an inch. For a ball mount with a 3" rise you can use the # 40331. You will also need # C48810 for a 1-7/8", # A-90 for a 2", or # 19286 for a 2-5/16" hitch ball. If you need a drop you can use the # TS64FR. This has a 3-1/4" drop but the 1/4" difference won't be noticeable.

• How to Measure for Rise or Drop Needed to Choose a Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer Level
  The typical way to determine how much rise or drop is needed to tow a trailer level is to park the truck and trailer on level ground and take some measurements. Since you do not have the trailer but do have a measurement we can still figure it out. We tell folks to measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the coupler is level and from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the tow vehicle. The difference is the amount of rise or drop you will need. The...
