Have installed a Blue Ox base plate on my  Smart ......BUT...... Blue Ox Hitch is 8" higher on MV than on the Smart, and that's with a 10" drop from the MV ( 34 Bounder Workhorse).  I've been told that 4" is the maximum acceptable above level.  I do not believe they make a drop greater than 10".  So, what's the solution?  Sure would appreciate anybody flat towing a  Smart to offer words of wisdom on how they solved this problem.    Thanx/ Hotfudge       
 
Wow - that's a tough one.  The reason the Bounder has such a high rear end is because of it's long rear overhang.  If you go too low you'll be dragging the hitch every time you go into a driveway.  Even a 10" drop is pretty radical and can leave you high centered on a dip.

Try asking Blue Ox about your problem.  Maybe they can come up with a base plate that has the higher attachment point you need.
