Today on our 2006 Cadillac Escalade well be test fitting the Draw Tite ball mount with three quarter inch rise or two inch drop, rated at 6,000 pounds, part number 2923. Before we install our ball mount well need to measure our hitch height measurement. To do this, well measure from the top of the receiver tube opening to the ground. On this truck, that measurement is 15 inches. Keep in mind that this measurement can change due to tire size, hitch style or any other accessory that may change your vehicles ride height, so its a good idea to measure yours. Well now slide the shank of the ball mount into the hitch, line up the hitch pin hole, and install our hitch pin.
We can then put the clip on the other side of the pin which will secure our ball mount to the vehicle. From the top of the ball mount platform to the ground with the ball mount in the drop position measures 13 inches. We can now remove the ball mount, flip it over and reinstall it in the rise position. In the rise position, from the top of the ball mount platform to the ground measures 16 inches. Thats it for the test fit of the Draw Tite ball mount three quarter inch rise or two inch drop, rated at 6,000 pounds, part number 2923 on our 2006 Cadillac Escalade..
