Helpful Expert Reply:
For safe and comfortable towing, a trailer should always be as level as possible. In order to determine which B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mount will work best on your 2015 GMC 2500HD with 20 inch rims, you will need to measure your hitch height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening as well as the coupler height of the trailer that you intend to tow. The difference between the measurements will determine the rise or drop that is needed for your setup. I have attached an article which covers the steps to choosing the correct ball mount.
Two options for a 5 inch drop are the 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10037B and the 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B. For a 7 inch drop we offer 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10040B and 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10049B.
I have included a link to all of the B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mounts that are available.
