Adjustable Ball Mount Options For Bumper Clearance and 9 Of Rise
Question:
Need a ball mount with a 2 5/16inch ball and 9inch rise with the shank receiver pin hole at least 4 1/4inch from curve to pin hole to clear Town and Country bumper. Will this work? No where does descriptions offer that information. That I am seeing. Might be there but missing it. Can you help me out with this? Thanks for your time and help.

I do have an options for you but the Flash Solid Steel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount part # FA49-00-5900 measures 3-3/4" from the hitch pin hole to upright portion of the ball mount so it will not clear the bumper of the Chrysler Town and Country. These measurements can be found in the video of the Flash Solid Adjustable ball mount that I have attached.
I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # TK5007 which provides 9" Rise to 10-1/4" Drop and can be used with a 2-5/16" ball part # C40007. This will provide you with 8" of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the ball mount to clear the bumper. Please keep in mind the weight capacity of this option is only 5,000 lbs. This is the most affordable option that provides the clearance that you need.
If you need more weight capacity, the adjustable ball mount that meets the requirements for rise, clearance and weight capacity is the B&W Tow & Stow 10,000 lb capacity 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS10043B with 9" Drop or 9-1/2" Rise and a 2-5/16" ball option. The B&W will give you 6" of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the ball mount to clear the bumper. I realize this option is more expensive but it is the best adjustable ball mount to give you the clearance you need.
