Many trailer hitch ball mounts are designed to be flipped in the receiver tube to allow for necessary rise. Rise is the opposite of drop. It is needed when a trailer rides higher than the tow vehicle. Rise can be determined using the same method shown above.

Before choosing a ball hitch for a rise application, be sure to check that it is compatible. Not all models can safely be used in the rise position.

If you are planning to tow different trailers with differing coupler heights, you may wish to select an adjustable mount. Adjustable mounts allow for incremental height adjustment and can typically be flipped for use in the drop or rise position to maximize versatility.

An adjustable mount is an excellent choice for work trucks and fleet vehicles that will be used for towing multiple trailers.

There is no standard, universal height for all trailer hitches because every vehicle rides at different heights. Proper trailer hitch height is unique to each vehicle.

However, when a hitch is engineered, the clearance from the ground is taken into consideration. A trailer hitch and ball mount must ride high enough off the ground to avoid scraping, even over bumpers and potholes.
