What Drop Ball Mount is Needed for Hitch 22 inches from Ground and Coupler 16 inches From Ground
Question:
First I apologize because I do not know all of the correct trailer verbiage, Ill do my best. I am needing to tow a small aluminum boat trailer, its about 15foot long and about 300lbs total weight- the trailer coupler ideal height is 16inch off the ground. I have a 2x 2inch hitch and the height is 22inch to the top of the insert. Would a 4inch mount work? Or do I need a 6? Also, how far from the bumper should this connection be?

Thanks for getting me the coupler and hitch height of your setup. Based on that you'd need a 6 inch drop ball mount. So for a 2 inch ball mount that has the correct amount of drop you'd want the # C45064 which comes with a 2 inch hitch ball installed as well as a hitch pin and clip.
