Ball mount

I am looking for a 9" drop, none adjustable. All I can find is 8 or 10. Does anyone know if it exists?

I deal in ball mounts and I have not seen anything available that is a 9" drop. I also have a list with all they offer and all they have listed are even number drops, 4,6,8,10 inches. The adjustable one would be the only way to get 9"s of drop exactly, but they are pricey. You could go with an 8" drop, it's only 1" difference unless your trailer is already nosed up real bad with the 9" drop you have figured you need. Then maybe you'd be better with the 10".

Hope this helps, long story short, I have not seen a 9" drop. You could have one custom made at a machine shop possibly, not to sure on what that would run you $$ though.

Never heard of a 1 inch rise ball. That would be the ticket. Where can I find one?

I never said that it had to be 9". That is just a good hight for my set up. I looked at the link posted for 1" rise ***** (thanks) and did some searching and all I see are 2 5/16" with 1 1/4" shank in the 1" rise. I need a 2 5/16" ball with a 1" shank and 1" rise. Anybody know if it exists?
