Question:
My hitch balls needs a 5-1/4 drop. Im planning to purchase Part #C45240 which is the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount 5-3/4 drop. Do you carry a 1/2 spacer so I can mount the ball such that the is 5-1/4 drop? Note, the ball Im getting is Part #40038.

Expert Reply:
When picking out the correct rise/drop ball mount for a towing setup you sometimes can't get exactly the amount you need. The good news is that if you get as close as you can (in your case within 1/2 inch) you will be fine. So using the hitch ball # 40038 that you referenced with the ball mount # C45240 would be a great choice and would work well for you.
