Expert Reply:
When we installed the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24872 on a 2014 Ford Focus Hatchback in our shop we found the receiver height to be 10-3/4" from the ground. The Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593 gives you a 2-1/8" rise so that would only give you a height of 12-7/8". Instead you should use the Drawbar # 3594 with a 4" rise and the 1-7/8" Ball # 19256. This will give you a hitch height of 14-3/4" so you will only have 1/4" drop on the front of your trailer.
You will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118549 to operate the lights on your trailer. This is a 4-way flat connector which is most commonly used on small trailers.
