Rise And Drop Measurements of Lock N Roll 3-Position Channel Hitch

Question:

Why do your specs show a rise or of 4 1/4 while Lock n Roll website shows a maximum rise/ of 5 1/2? The parts appear to be one and the same 4 hole 3 positions. Im wondering if you are measuring differently than Lock N Roll? I need a 5 1/2 to 6 inch rise for my needs

When Lock N Roll Measured the Articulating Hitch w/ 3-Position Channel # 336VS503505 they state that they are measuring from the center of the receiver pin hole to the center of the trailer connector pin at 5-1/2". As this is generally not how ball mounts are measured our measurement will be from the top of the receiver tube to the top of latching mechanism for the rise and drop measurements. That is why we only show the 4-1/4" measurement.

We also have their Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch w/ 5-Position Channel # 336VS503515 that will get you up to a 8-1/4" rise or drop.
