Hey there Molly,
Really appreciate the previous purchases, and with your coupler height of 17 inches and hitch height of 8-1/2 inches, what you need is a ball mount that will get you as close as possible to an 8-1/2 inch rise - within 1/4 of an inch. For that we have a ball mount that gives you 8-3/4 inches of rise:
- Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # AMSC10
Not only is this the right size for you, the # AMSC10 is a cushioned ball mount, which is really nice as it reduces vibration inside the hitch. Then for the ball you'll need 2" Hitch Ball # 40038.
Finally, to secure it to your hitch you can use either Hitch Lock # e98881 or Pin & Clip # 37201074.
