Question:
Hi! Im struggling to find a hitch that will work for me. I have a CURT 45901 which is great, BUT my tailgate wont open when I have my tear attached. I need like ~14 maybe 13.5 from center of ball to pin hole and about a 2 rise. Any recommendations?

Hey Jr. The best option I have is the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232. From the center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole is 15-3/4". It does only have a 3/4" rise but there's not many options for that long of a ball mount.
The Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232 has an identical 6,000 lbs capacity as the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount item # C45901 you're using.
You can use the 2" Hitch Ball item # 40038 or the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball item # 63847.
What kind of trailer do you have?
