I have a solution for you to be able to get to 7" of total rise.

The Brophy Anti-Rattle Drawbar # BR39FR is a 1-1/4" ball mount that will give you 5-1/2" inches of rise. That is the largest rise that I have been able to find.

You can couple that with the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C94CR. It will fit the 3/4" hole in the Brophy ball mount. The ball does sit 1-1/2" taller than a traditional hitch ball thanks to the shock absorbing mechanism. This will also give you a better towing experience with your 2015 Volkswagen Golf.

To use the Curt 2 Inch Trailer Ball, #40038, with the B&W Ball Mount, #BWBMHD30010, you will want to use the Reese Hitch Ball Bushing, #58184. This will not reduce the towing or tongue weight capacity of the hitch ball or the ball mount, but you…

Although the Curt #C11158 is a fit for your 2013 Ford Focus, it is not to be used for towing. It can only be used for either a bike rack or cargo carrier. On page 217 of the 2013 Ford Focus owner's manual Ford cautions to never tow a trailer with…

You could use Roadmaster Quiet Hitch #RM-061-125 upside down but I don't think it is going to fit based on your pictures. Something smaller like Item #F-315 that goes into the shank of the accessory you are inserting into the hitch will likely…

Answer 8

The Brophy Drawbar part #BR39FR could be used in a Class I hitch but typically Class I hitches require a specific ball mount be used so I'd check with the manufacturer of your trailer hitch.

Answer 9

If the trailer is less than 1 inch off of being perfectly level either up or down then it will be perfectly fine. Having it slightly higher would be better because presumably the tongue weight of the trailer will pull it down a little. You could also…

We need to get you a ball mount that will allow your tow dolly to be towed at the correct height. Basically you will need to measure from the top of your hitch opening down to the ground and whatever the difference is between that number and 24…

It sounds like you are referring to the square hole spacers that are included with trailer hitches like the Draw-Tite Class III #75740 for your 2003 Ford F-150. If this is not what you mean please let me know. The included spacers are required when…

For your 2017 Ford Focus Titanium sedan we have the Curt hitch part #C11158 which is a 1-1/4 inch hitch size but we do not have any 2 inch hitches that fit your vehicle. The 2 inch hitch size is typically only used on higher capacity vehicles like…
