Expert Reply:
There are a couple options for extended ball mounts that fit 2 inch hitches and have extra length for clearance. You didn't mention the rise or drop you need so I'll give you a couple choices so you can find the right one:
- 1" Rise, 2" Drop - 14" Long: Brophy Ball Mount # EA20
- 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 14-5/8" Long: Brophy Ball Mount # EA40
Apart from being extra long, both ball mounts are aluminum so they won't corrode, and have an 8,000 lb towing/800 lb tongue weight rating. For a hitch ball you can use either 2" Hitch Ball # C54CR or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40005.
You'll need a pin and clip or hitch lock to secure the ball mounts to your hitch, and for that use either Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 or Pin and Clip # C21510.
