I am looking for a 2023 Tesla Model Y. The spec calls for 8.5inch length and 3/4inch raise. Can I install this product upside down from the photos so it will be a raise?

Yes you can; flipping the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2923 upside down will give you the 3/4" rise you are seeking.

It comes with a pin and clip so for a hitch ball you will need - depending on your trailer's coupler - either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40002, 2" Hitch Ball # 40038, or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40005.

I spoke with my contact at CURT and he told me what gives the CURT Hitch Ball, #40038, more strength is the way it is threaded and that it is heat treated beyond what #A-90 is so that gives the 40038 the higher rating. He added that even though 40038…
