Hey Ed. The Weigh Safe Aero Hitch for 2" Hitch item # WS47MR has a 9" rise. Your trailer's coupler will sit 9" above your tow vehicle's hitch pin hole when this ball mount is orientated to the rise position and the ball platform is in the last adjustment hole on the shank.
The Weigh Safe item # WS47MR fits a 2" hitch receiver and has a 12,500 lbs. It can be used with 2" and 2-5/16" trailer couplers with the included adapter. The included scale will allow you to reload your trailer to dial in your tongue weight.
