How to Pick Out Correct Rise/Drop Ball Mount for 2016 Honda Odyssey

Published 09/01/2017

Question:

I have your Draw Tight class three hitch on my 2016 honda odyssey. I am phrasing two jet skis and a triton trailer. Currently the bottom of my hitch socket is 10 inches from the ground and top is 12inches. Believe I need to have trailer about 18 -20 inches. Not sure on the math for how much lift I will need do I measure from the top of the hitch socket? Thanks for help. Also any good recommendation based on lift you recommend.

When determining the amount of rise/drop ball mount you'd need the two dimensions you need are the distance from the top of the hitch opening to the ground and from the bottom of the trailer coupler when it's sitting level.

The difference between those two dimensions is the rise/drop you'd need.

So for sure we know the hitch measurement is 12 inches. Lets say your coupler height was 18 inches from the bottom of it that would mean you'd need a 6 inch rise like # C45090.

If your coupler height is different let me know and I'll get you set up!
