We carry several ball mounts that have a 2 inch rise. I attached a link to a page that has all of them listed. The most popular one we carry for a 1-1/4 inch hitch would be part # C45521 and for a 2 inch hitch part # C45230.

We do carry a 2 inch hitch ball with a 2 inch rise built into it that has a 1 inch shank diameter, part # C40034.

The thing about Class I ball mounts is that you are only supposed to use the recommended ball mount for the hitch that is installed in the vehicle. With that being said we do have a 5 inch rise ball mount that fits Class I hitches, part # C45024.

I can't safely recommend you drill out the ball hole of a ball mount as that would void the warranty.

On Curt Euro ball mount #C45592 we are measuring from the top of the shank to the point below the ball where it starts to go straight up and down. I have linked a video that should clarify this for you. Curt must be measuring to the top of the ball.
