Hey Jeff,
If you are asking if the replacement head and shank # RR54980 can be flipped to a rise position, it can. You can use this item in the rise or drop position. If you need a rise this is going to give you an extra 6-1/2 inches from the top of the hitch receiver. If you were to ever need it to drop it would give an 1-1/4". Either way this is going to give you the height you need.
Is there a certain distance of rise that you need for the higher tongue?
