Is it ok to turn the ball mount over to get a rise. I will be pulling a 2500lb camper.

The Curt Class I Drawbar part # C45019 can be installed right side up which will give you a rise of 5/8" or upside down which will give you a drop of 1-1/4". However, the above ball mount is only rated for use with trailers up to 2,000 lbs therefore I cannot recommend you use this ball mount to tow a 2,500 lb trailer.

For a similar ball mount with equal rise/drop, I recommend the Draw Tite Drawbar part # 36053 which is rated for use with trailers up to 3,500 lbs. I have attached a review video of this ball mount for you as well.
