I would go with the 6 inch Roadmaster High-Low Adapter part # RM-048-6. Being an inch off either way would not be a big deal, but I would rather have your tow vehicle pulling slightly up than down as down usually wears tires and suspension components on towed vehicles.

I checked with Blue Ox and the Patriot 3 part #BLU37TR is a confirmed fit for the 2022 Ford Bronco you mentioned having. All you need to do is put it in H mode like you mentioned and that's it.

Use of a hitch adapter like Roadmaster #RM-048-6, which offers 6-inches of rise, will have the effect of reducing your hitch's capacity by 50-percent. This results from the change in geometry - the load being further away from the hitch - and is…
