Is There A 12" Hitch Extension I Can Use While Flat Towing?
Question:
Hi, do you carry a 12 extender bar?
asked by: Michael J
Expert Reply:
I do have a potential solution for you, but I do not have an extender that will measure exactly 12". At least nothing that will be rated for use while flat towing. I do have a 14" hitch extender from Gen-Y part # GY89SR. This is rated for 10,000 lbs towing and 500 lbs tongue weight.
It is recommended to use an anti rattle device like part # e99007 when using an extension. This will help to reduce any additional play at the hitch. You will also need a second hitch pin like the # e98880.
Please note that using an extension will effectively reduce your hitches carrying capacity by half.
