Rise from the Ball Mount Platform to the Receiver Opening on MaxxxTow Ball Mount # 70066

Question:

What is the distance from the top of the ball mount to the bottom of the accessory receiver? Im trying to determine if theres enough clearance to allow my bike rack to be above my trailer surge brake. Is the distance greater than with the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, part D210? Thanks

I went out into our warehouse and measured the distance from the top of the ball mount platform to the lower portion of the receiver opening of the MaxxxTow Ball Mount # 70066 and found that it measures 5-1/2 inches.

Check out the picture I attached that shows this measurement.

The Curt Ball Mount # D210 that you referenced will have a greater clearance there by about 1/2 inch.
