How to Pick Out a Ball Mount to Allow Trailer to Tow Level
Question:
I have a 2010 Range Rover and I tow a 6,000 lb boat. My current ball reciever is from Landrover and my boat sits a little low. Do you have something which will extend a little further and higher?

I am sure we have just the ball mount for you, but to determine which one you would need will require you to take a couple measurements. You will need to measure from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground and then from the bottom of the coupler down to the ground when the trailer is sitting perfectly level. Whatever the difference is between these two dimensions is the amount of rise/drop you would need.
I attached a help article that covers how to do this as well for you to check out.
