• How to Determine Correct Hitch Extender for Bike Rack on Jeep Wrangler with Rear Spare Tire
  To determine the length you need measure from the hitch pin hole on your Jeep's trailer hitch receiver out to the edge of the spare tire. Then add an inch or so to give you a little space. Some extenders are only designed to be used to flat tow a vehicle and not to hold any tongue weight so make sure you choose an extender that is designed for carrying accessories since you're going to use it for a bike rack. Part # C45795 is a great 14 inch option. 37 inch tires are normally 12 or...

• Recommended Hitch Extender For 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited To Allow Kuat NV To Clear Spare Tire

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2007 Ford E-450 Chassis on Old U-Haul Truck
  Since the frame ends so far short of the bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. Then you will need to use a hitch extender like # C45795 which will reduce your overall towing capacity to 3,500 lbs and 350 lbs tongue weight but you will still be able to tow any trailer within that range.

• 14 inch Hitch Extender that Can be Used to Tow 4,500 lb Vehicle
  We have a hitch extender that does have the capacity needed and is 14 inches long with the # ST12 but the Curt you referenced would not have the needed weight capacity as it is limited to towing up to 3,500 lbs. The # ST12 has a 7,000 lb towing capacity.

• How To Use The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender In The Upright Position With Tailgate Down
  When the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 is in the fully extended position then it can be used with the tailgate down on your 2012 Toyota Tundra. This extender is not designed to be used in the upright position with the tailgate down as it would definitely hit your tailgate. To get around this issue, you could install a hitch extender which would allow the Yakima LongArm Exender to be in the upright position with your tailgate down, which seems to be your overall goal here...

• Heavy Duty Hitch And Extension For 1990 V3500 Chevy
  I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15325. It is heavy duty and will be able to handle anything your truck can. For an extension we have several options depending on how much room you actually need. Keep in mind that the extension will lower the max weight and tongue weight of the hitch by 1/3. If you need a lot of extra space you can use the Curt Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers -18" Long # C45796 or the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches...

• Hitch Extender Availability To Allow Folding Carrier to Fold Up
  The shortest hitch extender we offer is the part # C45791 which will give you an additional 8 inches of extension. Without knowing more details about your setup it's hard to say for sure if that would give you enough clearance but I would be wiling to be it is if what you have now almost would fold up. You should note that when you use an extension like this you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch it is used on in half. To prevent movement of this extension in the hitch you would...

• How Much Does Hitch Extender Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity
  The answer is actually pretty simple, because using any type of hitch adapter, including a hitch extender, reduces the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent, and that includes both the towing capacity and the tongue weight capacity. I am not certain what the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 is, but using the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795 or the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long # C45796 will reduce that...

• Hitch Extender For 7,000 Lb Trailer Towed By Motor Home
  The Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long part # C45795 is designed for 2" hitches and a maximum trailer weight of 3,500 lbs so it would not be a good fit for your 7,000 lb trailer. We do not have a good option for an extender to tow a 7,000 lb trailer because extenders do cut the tongue weight of the hitch on your vehicle in half. A better option is to use an extra long ball mount like Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop, Extra Long part # D-26 which measures 12-5/8" long...

• Hitch Pin Holes Will Not Align With the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches C45795
  In order for the hitch pin holes to line up on the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches part # C45795, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver tube on the vehicle must be no more than 3". If it is then you'd have to go with a different option like the Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 14" Long part # HE12 which will allow for up to 4-1/2". In regards to being wobbly, that is sort of the nature of adding an extra connection but this...

• What Hitch Extender Do I Need to Clear a 35/1250/17 Spare Tire on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
  The tire width of a 35/1250/17 spare tire is 12-1/2 inches. If you have a hitch receiver that like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98856 that sits flush with the end of your 2016 Jeep Wrangler's bumper, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. The 1-1/2 additional inches of the 14-inch extender will allow you to attach accessories without interference. It must be noted that any time you use...

• Should Anti-Rattle Device be Used on Hitch Extension and Spare Wheel/Tire Carrier
  Using an anti rattle device on both the extension part # C45795 and the spare carrier part # C31006 would be ideal as you'd have quite a bit of movement without doing so. Between the extension and the carrier you can use the part # 63232 since the carrier has a hollow shank. Then since the extension has a solid shank you'd need to use a U-bolt style anti-rattle like the part # RM-061 and you'd be set. The # 63232 doubles as a hitch lock so for a standard hitch pin lock for the extension...

• Compatibility of Hitch Extender with Adjustable Ball Mount with a Rise
  A ball mount like the 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount w/ Stainless Steel Balls # LTB4-2 will allow you to use the hitch ball rise position with the extender unless there is a noted restriction on your extension. Most extenders do not have that restriction. For instance, the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795 has restrictions of a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs and maximum towing of 3,500 lbs. You will also want to recognize that the use of an extension will reduce...

• Recommended Hitch Extender for Kuat Transfer Bike Rack with Lowered Tailgate of 2017 Nissan Frontier
  For a Kuat Transfer 2 bike rack to not touch a lowered tailgate on a 2017 Nissan Frontier I recommend using the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long # C45796. This will move the hitch pin hole centers 18 inches and will also give you a tongue weight restriction of 350 lbs. Your Kuat Transfer 2-Bike will work just fine with that restriction. If you will be traveling with the tailgate down, I recommend the Fold Down Truck Bed Expander # C57WR to secure your cargo in the bed of your truck.

• Thule T2 Bike Rack Cant Fold Up and Wobbles when Used in Invisi-Hitch on 2015 Subaru Outback
  So you are using an adapter like # C45013 on the Invisi-Hitch installed on your 2015 Subaru Outback. The connection between the hitch and adapter is where you would need the anti-rattle device, right? Since the adapter shank is solid the pest solution is the anti-rattle device # RM-061-125. Given the vertical receiver on the hitch it may be difficult to get this device in place. The absolute best solution is to replace the hitch which may seem like an unnecessary expense until you consider...

• How To Carry Bike Rack Between Motorhome and Towed Vehicle
  In order to place a bike rack between the motorhome and towed vehicle you'll want to use one of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars like part # RM-077-2 or part # RM-077-4. This will provide an extension in addition to the additional receiver tube opening. The Curt Hitch Extender part # C45795 can be used for flat-towing but like with any trailer hitch extender will reduce the weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50% or 3,500 lbs whichever is lower so it's not a...

• Hitch Extender For Adding Enough Space Between Trailer and SUV to Open Rear Hatch
  You can do that if you wish, but be aware that using an extension lowers the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. The further the load gets extended away from the hitch, the more leverage is applied. This leverage can damage the hitch or cause it or its attachment points to the vehicle to fail. If you can get by with the reduced capacity, I'd recommend the 12 inch # MT70024, the 14 inch # C45795 or the 18 inch # HE18. An extra long ball mount might be a good alternative. If you click...

• Can Curt Cargo Carrier be Extended 14 Inch for use on Van With Spare Tire
  You can absolutely extend the 22-1/2x49 Aluminum Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18100- all you need is a 14" hitch extender and you'd be set. For that I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. If you meant that it was a total of 14" from the hitch pin hole to clear the spare tire, since the cargo carrier measures 10-3/4" from the hitch pin to the closest part of the carrier you could use a smaller extender, the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension...

• Hitch Extension Between Slide In Truck Camper and Trailer Accounting for Capacity Reductions
  Since you have a F350 I am going to assume that you have a 2-1/2" hitch receiver opening. If you have a different size, just let me know and I will make refined recommendations. To get some additional space (presumably to open the camper door) you could use an "Extender" like the 14 inch Curt # C45795. This fits 2" receivers so you will need a 2-1/2 to 2" reducer like the B&W # BWRHXA2182 if your truck did not come with one. However the use of an Extender" reduced the tongue capacity...

• Why Do Hitch Extenders Reduce Hitch Capacity
  Hitch extenders like the Kuat # HL20B and similar items # C45791, # C45795 and # HE12 do give you more clearance to install a hitch accessory like the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 but the trouble is these extenders also reduce the hitch's tongue weight (TW) capacity by 50-percent. All adapters like these push the actual weight of the loaded bike rack further away from the hitch and this means the rack's weight will put more stress on the hitch. The extra connection point...
