Hello Danny, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Ball Mount # e47DR is a great option for your 2011 Mazda 3 hatchback, and it will work with the Draw-Tite hitch you mentioned. This ball mount has 3-7/8" of rise, which should put your hitch ball at about 12" from the ground. We do want to make sure your trailer will be level when you tow, so please check the coupler height of your trailer, and make sure the 12" ball height will allow the trailer to tow level.
We do have options with more rise, so if you need one just reply below and let me know.
