Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-076 (or any similar adapter) cannot be used with the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2" Hitches # C45910-15-20.

These cannot be used with trailer towing they are only designed and rated for flat towing vehicles. If you need more rise or drop than the Curt offers you can go with the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-526.

If you take a look at the photo below you can see how this works as a pintle hitch application.
