Question:

I have a 2020 Colorado and plan on pulling a GEO Pro 19FBS. I need a tongue and ball that will allow the trailer to be level.

To know the exact rise/drop needed to keep your Geo Pro 19FBS level with your 2020 Chevy Colorado you'll need to measure from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver opening while your truck is parked on level ground. The next step is to measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on your trailer while it's level.

Once you have these measurements you can subtract the Coupler Height from the Hitch Height to find the Rise/Drop needed.

ex. 15" Hitch Height - 10" Coupler Height = 5" Drop Needed.

When you find the rise or drop needed you can then pick the corresponding high/low adapter or you can simply just buy a stacked receiver like the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-315, which gives you multiple options (up to a 10" drop/rise) to level your trailer.
