I found that aDrawTite ball mountwith the following specs fits perfectly with the Curt hitch.8-1/8" long from center of pin hole to center of ball hole and has 2-3/4" rise or 4" drop. Check outmy install details of the exact same set-up for ball mount pics and how I handled the wiring. I also don't like the way they just wedged your wiring between the hitch and the bumper cover.

RE: Trailer Hitch install
Antlip, I like the look of your hitch and more importantly the plug placement. I assume its the Class III/IV from Hidden Hitch? I went to their website and did not see the integrated receptacle on their hitch. Can you confirm the model number? Also, do you think you could take a picture from a little further out showing the entire back bumper with hitch below? Thanks

RE: Trailer Hitch install
I got it from etrailer.com. Its hitch number 87444 on their site. It is a class III hitch. It cost 139.99 with 99 cent shipping if you ordered 150$ of stuff. I will get a picture tomorrow with the tail gate down. The only problem is the OEM wire harness ends on the right side of the hitch and you need to buy an extension. I got mine from advance auto for like 7 bucks. It just plugs in and gives you the same end.

RE: Trailer Hitch install
I could go about 2 inches shorter but I didnt want it to be close. I plan on using my hitch for snowboards and dont even need the ball mount. The ball mount is incase my dads pick up has trouble and I have to tow home our boat one day.
