Can Gen-Y Ball Mount # GY59VR be Used With Hitch Extender
Question:
I just ordered this but this does not fit my vehicle as it hits the bumper in the rise position. I would need to get a7” hitch extender to make it work. Is that good idea? If not what should I do. I need a 9” rise. Is there another product with a longer shank and do a 9 inch rise. I am not towing a heavy load. Just 2000lbs so tongue weight is about 200 lbs or so.

You can use a hitch extender with the Gen-Y Ball Mount # GY59VR, just keep in mind an extender will reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch receiver by 50 percent. So for example if your hitch had a 5,000 lb towing and 500 lb tongue weight capacity it would be limited to 2,500 lbs towing and 250 lbs of tongue weight with an extender. If that works for you then use the 7" Hitch Extender # HE06.
This doesn't come with a hitch pin so if you need one use part # ML1465DAT.
