Question:
The ball mount measurement? Where do I measure to get this number? Top of the ball or at the point where the base of the ball meets the ball mount? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The find the rise/drop of a ball mount you will measure from the top of the shank to the place where the ball mount platform meets the hitch ball (see attached picture).
For example, the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534 comes with the hitch ball installed in the "drop" position which measures 2". I have attached a photo to demonstrate this as well as a link to a helpful article on how to find the drop/rise needed for a ball mount, and a link to our selection of ball mounts that you can filter through.
