New motor home which tow bar to tow 98 Ranger

I have purchased a 2016 Bounder MH and the tow receiver is higher than my previous MH, I have a 98 Ford Ranger with base plate and it is too low for my Reese tow bar, I want the tow bar that stays on MH so do I need to raise the connecting points on the Ranger base plate? Or is their a tow bar that will stay level? Also if Ranger base plate needs to be higher connecting points is there a vertical extension kit that will work,
thought a longer drop ball but they will hit the ground on every dip so trying not to have to do that,,
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

They (Roadmaster) make (I have one) a hi-lo hitch extension to solve this problem. In my case it drops the receiver hitch on the MH 6" to allow safe towing of my Chevy Sonic. Google "hi-lo hitch"

Thumbs up

I have a Blue Ox Avanta LX and use a 6" drop to Blue Ox base plate. My 2008 Ranger base plate is about 16" off the ground. My tow bar can stay on the motor home when not towing.
