Hey Michael, so this is a great question about the Bulletproof adjustable ball mount part # HD256 but the issue is that some people measure the rise/drop differently which causes some confusion. We measure from the top of the shank down to the bottom of the ball mount platform where the ball is installed. So using that method we came up with 7-1/4 inches. Most likely BD measured to a higher part of the ball.

Hey Michael, did that explanation about the different measuring methods clear up the confusion on the HD256 ball mount size? Knowing how it compared to Bulletproof’s diagram could help others double-check their own measurements.
