My solution to the OPs problem: My Challenger receiver is 25" off the ground and my Cobalt Demco baseplate attachment points are 13". At first I used a 11" drop hitch, but kept dragging it going into and out of gas stations. Changed to a 4" drop hitch and raised the attachment points on the baseplate by 6" with an L shaped adaptor manufactured for me out 5/8" steel plate with gussets out of 3/8" plate.

Been doing this for 6 years with no issues and no dragging. JM2ยข...
