Hey Ed! To pull a tow dolly you'll need an adjustable ball mount like the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch item # MD204. The Blue Ox item # BLU34TR you were looking at only works with tow bars on flat towing set ups.

What information I really need from you is how far back your hitch pin hole is on your receiver to the edge of your spare tire. The BulletProof item # MD204 is going to extend out 10-7/8" or 12-3/8" from this hitch pin hole when connected. It will also give you up to 6-1/4" drop.

If you could take that measurement and put it in the comment box below I would be happy to confirm this is the right ball mount you need or find you the correct one.

@Ed The Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount for 2" Trailer Hitches item # D900 will extend out 15-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. This is going to be our longest adjustable ball mount. It has a drop of 5-3/4" from the top of the inside of the hitch receiver.
