If we compare the Curt RockerBall # C67DR to a standard B&W gooseneck hitch ball like part # BWGNXA2000 the RockerBall is 3-3/4" taller.

The B&W measures 4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the base of the hitch ball while the RockerBall measures 7-3/4" from the center of the closest hitch pin hole to the base of the hitch ball.
