Hi Sales, I have a Landrover Discovery 3 and need a ball mount and pins. I think I need one that will rise 3inches but am not sure. Can you please advise. Thank you

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 is greater than the coupler height the difference is the drop required. If the coupler height is greater the difference is the rise required. You will want to pick the ball mount with the rise/drop closest to the difference.

If you do need a 3 inch rise ball mount the Convert a Ball part # AMSC4 would be a great option as it is cushioned. For a pin and clip you would need the part # PC3. For a 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19260, for a 2 inch ball part # 63845, or for a 2-5/16 inch ball part # 63847.
