Is there a ball mount adapter without a drop, in other words I would like to use this and use my utility trailer at the same time? BTW I have a 2inch receiver and ball...

While there isn't a multi-purpose ball mount that doesn't have a rise we do have MaxxTow ball mount # MT70066 which, out of the options, has the least amount of drop at 1-5/8 inches.

Another possible option to carry bikes on # TH9056 and tow the trailer at the same time is to use a front mount trailer hitch and carry the bikes at the front. If you think this is a viable option let me know the year, make, and model of the tow vehicle and I can see if there is a front hitch for it.

If you have a truck then there are truck bed bike racks that you might also be interested in. No matter what the scenario I know that we can find a way for you to carry bikes and tow the trailer at the same time.
