Most Popular Rise - 6 Inch for 2009 Volkswagen Routan

I bought both the hitch and ball receiver. The ball receiver was well package and arrived unscathed...unfortunately the hitch arrived damaged or poorly painted. As the attached photo show a bit of sliver metal is visible and I'm concerned that rust will attack and weaken the structure. This uneven and rough area is located on both sides and at both ends. I not sure if it is all damage because of the roughness of the blemish. The area pictured is worst of the four damages. The shipping carton shows damage and repair to the box tear. The tear was repaired with clear tape and staples. The metal staples could have caused some damage exposing the bear metal. I just happen to have some black spray-can paint and will cover the bear metal before installing later the morning. Thank you for this product review opportunity.

The team at etrailer relayed helped find the right solution. Using this ball mount fixed the height issue I had with my SUV not lining up with the trailer. Very grateful for their help.
