Can i get an extended length ball mount with a 6 1/2” drop? 2” receiver.

Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Curt Ball Mount part # D-28 which has a 6" drop. We do not have a 2" ball mount that offers exactly 6-1/2" of drop with an extended shank but since the vehicle will squat a bit while attached to the trailer, the 1/2" difference will not be an issue for you. This ball mount slides into a 2" receiver tube opening and works with hitch balls that have a 1" diameter shank.
If you need a hitch ball I recommend using part # C40002 for 1-7/8", part # C40004 for 2", or part # C40005 for 2-5/16". You will also need a hitch pin if you do not already have one and for that I recommend using part # C21500. I have attached a review video on the ball mount in addition to a photo with it's dimensions for you as well.
