How to Pick Out the Correct Ball Mount for a 2011 Toyota Camry to Tow Trailer Level
Question:
I need to know the dimension from the bottom of the flange to the center of the ball of item # 19258. OR: which ball mount would you recommend for my application? Center of the ball on my trailer needs to be 16inch from the ground. I just Installed my new #C12343 hitch on my 2011 Camry. The top of the receiver is approximately 12 from the ground. Which ball mount do I need? Thanks.

I attached an FAQ article to the right on how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount for a towing setup so that a trailer can be towed level. But based on the two dimensions you gave me you will need a ball mount with a 4 inch rise. For that you would want the part # 3594.
As long as your trailer coupler takes a 2 inch ball the # 19258 would work well with the # 3594 so that your trailer can be towed level.
