• Longer Ball Mount that Fits 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch
  A longer ball mount would be a decent idea I would think but since its going to be a Class II 1-1/4 inch ball there aren't super long options. Mostly everything will be about same length with some variations. If you can determine the rise/drop you need I can let you know what longest option would be.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness for 2014 Subaru Forester
  When I put your 2014 Subaru Forester into our fit guide I did not get the same results you did. I get the # C13144 for a 2 inch receiver option and # C12100 as a 1-1/4 inch option.
