Question:

I have a 2013 Toyota Sienna minivan. I have a hitch that is 8.5 inches off ground. Ill be getting a tear camper with a 17 inch to coupler. What do you recommend for rise hitch. Also need 2 inch ball. Thanks very much. I bought the hitch from you and brake controller kit.

Hey there Molly,

Really appreciate the previous purchases, and with your coupler height of 17 inches and hitch height of 8-1/2 inches, what you need is a ball mount that will get you as close as possible to an 8-1/2 inch rise - within 1/4 of an inch. For that we have a ball mount that gives you 8-3/4 inches of rise:

- Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC10

Not only is this the right size for you, the # AMSC10 is a cushioned ball mount, which is really nice as it reduces vibration inside the hitch. Then for the ball you'll need 2" Hitch Ball # 40038.

Finally, to secure it to your hitch you can use either Hitch Lock # e98881 or Pin & Clip # 37201074.
