Why Are Curts Measurements Different Than What Is Listed?
Question:
Curt lists this as 4-5/8inch rise you can even see it labeled as such in your product photos. Whats the difference in your specs versus the manufacturers specs?

Expert Reply:
We measure rise and drop a little differently than Curt, hence the discrepancies with the label on their # C45028. Curt tends to round and estimate their measurements a little bit, but we go from the top of the ball platform to the top of the shank to get the 5-3/8" rise. This goes for the drop measurement as well, just with the ball mount flipped over. I included a review video we have of this showing where we take the measurements from as well.
