The 5" drop and 10" rise measurement for the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BLU54TR is more accurate. 8" and 2" is not correct at all. The exact rise is 10.61" and the exact drop is 4.89". I apologize for the confusion. Blue Ox measures from the middle of the shank to the top of the ball which has lead to some discrepancies. The correct way to measure rise/drop is from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform.
