What Is Drop of Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45901 When in Tallest Drop Position

Question

Question:

With the mount placed in a hitch in the drop position and and the ball mount portion of the mount raised all the way up, what is the drop? Basically I am asking what the least amount of drop with the ball mount without flipping it 180 for rise.

When the platform of the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45901 is in the drop position but up in the highest position possible the drop is right at 2 inches.

I attached a review video for this ball mount for you to check out as well.

What is the drop height at the second position. I have a 2" receiver and I think I need a 2 1/2 inch drop with a 1 inch ball mount hole.

@Nick With the part # C45901 in the highest position it would give you a drop of 2-3/4 inches which would work great for you since you said you need a drop of 2.5 inches and this would be close enough.
