Question:

My kayak trailer needs a 22inch height to top of ball for the tongue to be level. My 1 1/4inch receiver goes to 13.25inch inside of top so I need 8.75inch rise to top of ball from that. The C45024 ball mount gives 5inch rise, so I need 2.75inch more. Or perhaps a little more if the car sinks with a full load...I use at the coast, sea kayaking, so want corrosion resistance. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:

When measuring for ball mount rise/drop needed you have to measure from the bottom lip of the coupler to the ground and not from the top like you mentioned. That means your trailer height is going to be more like 20 inches instead of 22 inches. That being said the closest ball mount we offer to what you need is going to be the part # C45028 which can do a rise of 5-3/8 inches. Then for a 2 inch ball you would want the part # C40018.
