Looking for a Dual Hitch Ball Mount - 5-6 inch drop

I just want to ask if anyone have seen this exact hitch ball mount, but with a 5-6 inch drop? I have been looking for one. Haven't found any. I use this exact same one when we had our Class C. We used the ball mount to pull our tow dolly and car. We used the top receiver for our bike rack or flag pole mount. Now that we have our Thor ACE, the hitch sits very high.

We need something with a 5-6 inch drop, 7,500 lbs tow rating. Our original one have a 2 inch drop, just like the one in the picture. Thanks.

Do a dual opening
Then add a 5-6” drop hitch into the opening
That’s what I do...

taylorbob1, thank you for the recommendation. I thought about doing that set up. However, I have decided to stay with the same set up as I have now (but with 5-6 inch drop). I came across someone who posted a review in Amazon for that same set up. It may have been an isolated incident. But on the guy's setup, the piece of the dual hitch that slides into the vehicle broke (and almost detach). Scary thing to see, and very dangerous if that broke apart while towing something. I also would like to stay with 7,500 lbs towing capacity rating.

EA37TS, I already searched their website and did not find any. I will try to give them a call.

Still looking.

Good luck and please let us know what you find. I recently went through the same exercise and ended up with a dual hitch similar to the HiTow one pic'd above but adequate for my light towing. I did not find anything that could handle more than 4 or 5,000#.

I considered adding a second receiver, offset from existing one, to mount the bicycles but didn't need to explore that option further.

I called etrailer yesterday and they do not have the same one that I have, that comes with a 5-6 inch drop. This is what they recommended. I ended up ordering it from Amazon as I need it sooner, than etrailer can ship it. I have read the reviews and it seems like a great item to use. Built like a tank and rated at 16K tow rating (which is much more than I need).

Adjustable Drop Hitch Offset Shank 2" Receiver Hitch GH-204 Hitch Only (2" 16,000 lb)

I will post a picture later.
