10k Rated Ball Mount Recommendation with 4 inches of Drop
Question:
Hi, Im looking for a very specific product, Im hoping you can point me in the right direction. I have a horse trailer and the drop from my hitch isnt quite enough... the tongue points upwards slightly. Im currently using a 2inch drop. Im hoping a 3inch drop will do the trick. But the ball for my hitch is also a 2 5/16. It also needs to be at least a class IV hitch, up to 10,000LBS. I cant seem to find anything like this. :

Before you pick out a ball mount you will need to make sure you know exactly how much rise/drop you would need for your trailer to be towed level. I attached a help article that details exactly how to do this.
But for a 3 inch drop with a 10k rating you would want the Ball Mount # DT40201. This ball mount has 4 inches of drop, so to make up the additional inch you would want the high rise hitch ball part # C40035 which is a 2-5/16 inch ball with a 10k rating.
