The ball mount we offer for a 2 inch hitch that has the most drop is the part # BM10 which has a 10 inch drop. Then you could use a 4 inch high low adapter part # RM-048-4 to get the additional drop to get you close to the amount of drop you need. view full answer...
While there isn't an adjustable option, there are dual hitch adapters for flat towing that allow you to tow your vehicle and carry a bike rack at the same time. The right one just depends on the amount of rise or drop you need. Also keep in mind the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, and that the rise or drop will depend on the way the adapter is turned.

Yes! What you need is a heavy duty receiver hitch welded onto your trailer to get that heavy weight capacity. I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07. It is a Class V hitch, but also has the 2" hitch receiver that is popular for hitch accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.
With a 1,600 lb tongue weight capacity, this will be more than enough for your needs. This hitch # 41990-07 has a 7-inch drop which is determined by the mounting... view full answer...
The weight distribution shank we offer that has the most drop that fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch is the Curt Shank part # C17132 which has a drop of 9-1/4 inches. Depending on if you calculated the drop you need with the trailer's tongue weight on the hitch or not this could work. If you came up with 9 inches of drop with the tow vehicle unloaded 8 inches of drop might be right when the weight of the trailer is on the rear suspension.
Otherwise we have a 2 inch shank with 9 inches of drop as... view full answer...
I have a solution for you but there are not hitch steps that have a drop and fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch. First you will need a reducer sleeve such as # C45405. Then you could use hitch step # RHS2 which is 2 steps with the first step with a drop below the hitch receiver. None of the other steps really have a drop with the exception of # HE4045 or # HE4037. view full answer...
Selecting the right rise or drop for a weight distribution hitch is going to be the same as it is for a ball mount. You will need the proper amount of rise or drop that allows you to tow the trailer level. If the trailer is not level the weight distribution system will not work like it should because the tongue weight will either be too low or too high.
If the 1/2 inch drop in the Curt system # 17300 is not enough to tow the trailer level then there are alternate shanks you can get separately,... view full answer...
Since there isn't every rise/drop available your best bet is to pick a rise/drop that will get you as close as possible. For the need of a 1 inch drop a 2 inch would be close enough. So for that the B and W Ball Mount part # BWBMHD30011 would be a great option.
Or if you wanted one with a 2 inch hitch ball installed and comes with a hitch lock the part # C45534 would be a great option. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2-3/4" Rise, 4" Drop - 9" Long - 7.5K # 2753 is not the correct fit for zero rise or drop. For the zero rise or drop you will need the Curt Solid 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" and 2-5/16" Balls - 10K - Chrome # C45002.
Rise or drop is based on the inside top of the trailer hitch receiver. I've linked an article to assist. If you want the ball platform to be even with the bottom of that opening then you would actually need a 2 inch drop ball... view full answer...
Since you'd need more drop than what the shank of the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17062 provides you may as well go with a drop shank that fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch directly without needing the adapter sleeve like the Curt shank part # C17132 which fits the hitch size and provides up to 10 inches of drop. view full answer...
We do have the Curt fixed ball mount part # C45458 which fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch and has a 4 inch drop like you said you needed.
I attached a review video for this ball mount for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The amount of recess and drop is really similar on all the hitches for your 2002 Ford F-350. For the least amount of drop, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13355 or the # C14355. They both have the 2-1/2 inches from the outside of the bumper to the center of the hitch pin and the 18-1/2 inch measurement from the ground to the top of the inner receiver tube. These hitches have the least amount of ground clearance restriction.

I do have an option for you but I think we first need to verify that we are indeed looking for the correct rise/drop amount in a ball mount. In order to verify that we have the correct rise/drop needs we first need to measure from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube on the trailer hitch and then subtract from this the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level. The above calculations will then give us the correct rise/drop we need... view full answer...
For your application, I recommend an adjustable ball mount with a large drop like the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 15" Drop - 10K # 325-GH-317. The Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 17-1/2" Drop # 325-GH-328 is the deepest drop we have available.
The hi-low adapter Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 7" Rise/Drop - 12" Long, # BX88241, is for flat towing use only. It cannot be used to pull a trailer. view full answer...
We have 12 inch drops and we have 14 inch drop ball mounts but we do not have a 13 inch. Going an inch lower would be better than an inch higher though.
But you did say that the 12 inch drop put your trailer 1 inch lower than that your hitch so that would mean you would want an 11 inch drop instead like the part # 80248. view full answer...
The chrome plated 3-ball # BWTS10048C does not come in a 9 inch drop size. However there is a black version that has 2 hitch balls that will meet that drop requirement. I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 9" Drop, 9-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10043B. This ball mount will have the same stowing feature as well as the 1 inch increment adjustment and two hitch pin hole options. It has the 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch hitch balls, but not the 1-7/8 inch diameter option.

My recommendation is to use a replacement drop shank like the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4400. This shank is capable of up to 9" of drop and will work with weight distribution hitches that have a 1-1/4" vertical hole center spacing. If you let me know exactly how much drop you need and what weight distribution hitch you have I can find you the correct shank for your vehicle.

Since you mentioned the Shocker Hitch I am assuming that you are wanting a cushioned hitch. The Shocker XRC Cushioned Adjustable Drop Ball Mount with 2" Ball # SHK22ZR is adjustable from 4-1/2" to 7-1/2" of drop. This will only have the one 2" hitch ball. view full answer...
The maximum drop for the shank included with Equal-I-zer weight distribution system # EQ37120ET is actually 3 inches. The overall height of the shank is 9-1/2 inches. Drop or rise is measured from the top of the hitch receiver opening to the top of the platform the ball sits on.
For more drop you could use the Curt weight distribution shank # C17125 which offers a maximum 15-3/4 inches drop when measuring as described above. I have also included a link below that covers measuring for rise/drop... view full answer...
Normally the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter # RM-077-8 is designed for use with a flat towing setup but I don't really see the harm in pairing this with your bike rack. It measures 10" long and has an 8" drop like what you're looking for.
You're going to need a hitch pin like the Curt # C21500, but I also recommend tossing in the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 since you'll be adding another connection point to your setup. view full answer...
Deep drop bumpers are about 10 inches tall. It looks like in the picture you have submitted the vehicle already has one. The one hitch for your 1987 Chevy Blazer # 75129 is designed so that the receiver fits right under the stock bumper. It would not work with a deep drop bumper. So what I recommend is a weld-on hitch, # 41990-16, because the tall brackets will allow you to mount the hitch lower to compensate for the bumper. I recommend having a professional welder perform the installation.
