Expert Reply:

Six inches is the shortest 2 inch to 2 inch extender that is available. You could save considerable money by going with a 7 inch model, # HE06. The use of an extension will reduce the trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. You will need to make sure the combined weight of the bike rack and bikes when loaded does not exceed the reduced trailer hitch tongue weight capacity.

My suggestion would be for you to try and relocate the jack on your trailer. This would be the safest, most economical, option to solve the issue of your lowered tailgate hitting the crank on the trailer jack. Using a weight distribution system puts…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
