Expert Reply:
The best way to select a ball mount with the ideal amount of rise or drop to keep a hitched trailer level is to take a measurement of the hitch and the coupler heights when both the vehicle and trailer are on level ground. The linked article shows how to take these easy measurements. The difference between the hitch and coupler heights give you the amount of rise or drop needed.
There's also the option of using an adjustable ball mount. Hitch # e98841 that fits your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport has a 2-inch receiver. In this you can use an adjustable ball mount like # C45900 or one of the others shown on the page I linked for you. Each offers a range of rise or drop.
Another option is our multi-part Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which includes two fixed ball mounts and hitch balls, pin, clips and a handy storage bag.
