Question:
I need a 2 draw bar where the height of the surface that the ball mounts to is equal to center of the hitch pin. Im not finding a way to filter for a ball mount with that height. To me that should be a Zero but seems all those listed as zero have the ball at the top of the bar.

Hey Robert, so the way we determine rise and drop is basically what you described. Zero would be the same height as the top of the trailer hitch opening. What you are looking for we would call a drop of 1 inch. Unfortunately we don't have that exact rise/drop. So your best option would still be what we list as a zero drop like the part # AMSC2 with a high rise ball part # C40033 which would put the ball height right where you are wanting. This is a 2 inch ball.
If instead you need a 2-5/16 inch ball you would want the part # C40035 instead.

Hey Robert, did the zero-drop ball mount with the high-rise ball give you the height you needed for your setup? Knowing how that combination worked could help others trying to match the same hitch height.
