Drop Ball Mount for Subaru with Rockerball that Needs 0 Rise/Drop
Question:
Hi there. We are having some difficulty fitting a ball mount...My Subaru top of hitch is exactly 12.5, and the bottom of the coupler is also 12.5. Also, Im using a Curt Rockerball which adds 1.5 inches of height. Would a 2 inch with the Rocker ball be a half inch too low? What height do we need so we can do this the safest way possible?

Expert Reply:
Since your suspension would sag a little bit with the weight of your trailer I would go with a slightly higher ball mount around 1 inch drop in conjunction with a Rockerball part # C40047 and you'd be set.
If you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd want the part # 36051 or a 2 inch hitch # 2923.
