The Draw-Tite Ball Mounts, item # 4283, does not come in a 6 inch rise configuration. At this time we do not have a ball mount with a 6 inch rise available.

We do offer two ball mounts with a bit higher rise. The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount for 2 inch Hitches, item # AMSC6HD, has a 6-1/2 inch rise, and the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount, item # AMSC8, has a 6-3/4 inch rise.

You could get exactly a 6 inch rise by using the Diversi-Tech Aluminum Ball Mount, item # DTBM5600, along with a ball with a 1 inch rise like the Curt 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball, item # C40086, or the or if a 2 inch ball is needed you could use the Curt Hitch Ball, item # C40033, along with a Hitch Ball Bushing - 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch, item # F-2.

Another possibility would be to use an adjustable ball mount like the Adjustable Solid-Tow Aluminum Ball Mount,item # DTSTBM6600, that can be set at a 6 inch rise with either the 2 or 2-5/16 inch ball.
