The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise - Black # BWTS20040B may have the correct rise/drop to tow your trailer level, but that will depend on the exact height of your trailer hitch receiver and the coupler height of your trailer.

To confirm that this is going to have the correct adjustment to tow your trailer level you will need to measure from the top inside edge of your trailer hitch receiver to the ground, and then with your trailer level you will need to measure from the ground the the bottom of the coupler.

If your hitch height is greater than the coupler height you will need a ball mount with a drop the same amount as the difference between the two measurements, and if your coupler height is greater than the hitch height you will a ball mount with a rise the same amount as the difference between the measurements.

Unless your trailer has a very low coupler height the 7-1/2" rise/drop of the # BWTS20040B should be plenty.

If you find you need more rise/drop for your specific trailer then I recommend the # BW54FR which has 9" of drop and 9-1/2" of rise.
