To pair with your Blue Ox # BX1303 base plates I recommend using the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # e47ZR. This is a high quality non-binding tow bar at a great price point. The etrailer SD has telescoping and self aligning arms to allow for fast and easy hook up on any surface, so it's also easy to use.

It sounds like you'll need an adapter with an 8" drop, so the Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 8" Rise/Drop - 11-1/2" Long # BX88131 would work well for you. You could also use the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 8" Rise/Drop - 10K GTW, 400 lbs TW # RM-048-8, which has the same 8" drop but doesn't have the elongated shank.
