Expert Reply:
Sounds like you are looking for the correct rise/drop ball mount to allow you to tow your boat trailer level. What you will need to do is measure your trailer from the coupler to the ground when the trailer is level and then measure from the top of the hitch opening to the ground. Whatever the difference is the correct rise/drop you would need.
Once you know what you need you will need to check out the link I attached that has all of the ball mounts we carry where you will be able to select from the filters the correct one.
