The Weigh Safe Stainless Steel Hitch Ball with Built-In Scale # WSUN-1 requires that the ball mount it is used with has a 3/4-inch thick ball platform.

The B&W 2-1/2-inch Ball Mount # BWBMHD30214 that you referenced has a ball platform that is 1-inch thick so it will not work with this ball. Same holds for part # AMSCV-6.

Sine this hitch ball is rated to 10K, the larger and heavier-duty 2-1/2-inch ball mounts like those noted above, which are rated for much more weight, will be too thick for it. Most in the 2-1/2-inch size will have a ball platform thickness of 7/8-inch or 1-inch.

What you might want to do is select a 2-inch ball mount like the 10K # C45336 and use it with a reducer sleeve # C45405. This ball mount has the required 3/4-inch thick ball platform that will work with the Weigh Safe ball.

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…
