Hey there Tom,
Sorry it took a bit to get that measurement, we currently do not have stock but have some on the way so I had to reach out to our friends at Curt. The measurement is 3.688". I attached an image to ensure that we got the right measurement for you.
What are you using it for that you need that measurement?

That is interesting. Most 2 5/16 trailer balls I have measured for standard ones have been about 3 1/8 plus or minus 1/8 in height. It looks like the true extra rise of this trailer ball is closer to a half inch versus a standard ball. It looks like that in the picture as well. . I will take a look at the 2 inch rise ball in the similar line tothis and see if there’s a measurement over there . if not, it would be great to have that answer. I am trying to get my hitch height just right for a deck over snowmobile trailer, which has a fairly high hitch height and matching that up with the ball mount that is long enough so that I can open the tailgate on the truck. I am Looking at the Draw-tite 4284 and 4285 ball mounts in the rise position.
