I can help you out with all the parts you need to tow a trailer with your 2015 Honda Odyssey, and the choices you made are the exact ones I would have made with the Draw-Tite hitch, Tekonsha wiring harness and P3 brake controller, and Derale transmission cooler. Reason is, those are the highest-quality products for your Odyssey that is going to give you the most durable, best-performing, and safest towing experience.

I can verify all of these parts are correct for your 2015 Honda Odyssey;

- Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75270
- T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118521
- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7
- Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195
- Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503

Since your rise and drop is about even, and you just need to be within an inch or two of that, the best option is the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC2.

This mount has a 3/4" rise which you can use as you only need to be with a couple inches or so of level. For a hitch ball, depending on your trailer's coupler you can use the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40002 or 2" Hitch Ball # 63845. The ball mount does come with a pin and clip but you can lock it to your hitch with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880.

Finally, for suspension enhancement, the air springs are something that have to be constantly monitored and can be difficult to maintain without a compressor so the best option, and the one I would go with, is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # THROD2.

These will give your Odyssey the suspension support it needs but will not require any maintenance and are something you can install and forget about, except for the benefits it will provide.

I have added links to installation videos and instructions of these parts for you to check out as well.
