Question:

I have a small trailer for my kayaks that weighs 750 lbs. With kayaks about 850-900 lbs. It takes a 1 7/8 ball. I need a draw bar with 3 rise. Would the Draw-Tite draw bar 2753 with a rise of 2 3/4 work for this use? It seems to be a perfect fit in all other respects.

Hi Hugh,

You can 100% use the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2753 with its 2-3/4" rise measurement even if you need a 3" rise. It's pretty rare to get the literal exact amount of rise/drop with a ball mount as there's so many different things that can raise/lower the measurement by even just a bit (tire inflation, if you're on completely level ground, etc.), so within 1/4" is perfectly acceptable.

The # 2753 includes a pin and clip so the only other thing you'd need is the 1-7/8" hitch ball, which you can get with part # C40002.
