You just need to select the correct rise ball mount for you setup. To do this you only need to measure from the bottom of your trailer's coupler to the ground when the trailer is sitting level and then from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground. Whatever the difference is between these two dimensions is the ball mount you need.

I attached an FAQ on how to pick out ball mounts for you to check out as well.

Once you determine what rise ball mount you need check out the link I attached that has all of the ball mounts we offer. You will need to select the rise you need from the filters and the correct ball mounts will be listed.
