Expert Reply:

In order to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount to use with the Curt Hitch part # C11377 you will need to take a couple measurements. The goal is to have your trailer towed as level as possible. In order to do that the correct rise/drop ball mount needs to be used.

To pick out the correct one you will need to measure the distance from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and then with your trailer sitting as level as possible measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. The difference between these two measurements will be what rise/drop ball mount you need.

Once you know what you need check out the link I attached that has all of the Euro ball mounts we offer.
