I have a better option for you, but the # D210 does not have the drop you need of 4 inches so it would not work out for you. The rest of the criteria you mentioned matches but not the drop. So instead check out the bike racks that are designed to attach to ball mounts like the Swagman Traveler XCS part # S64664 which you can attach to your current ball mount and gives you ability to carry 2 bikes.
I attached a review video link for this for you to check out as well.
