• How to Extend Trailer Hitch So I Can Tow 2017 Rockwood Tent Trailer with Tailgate Down
  I do have some options for you however, the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # BX88264 is only to be used for flat towing a vehicle, not for towing a trailer. Instead, the Brophy Hitch Extender with Step # ST18 can be used to tow, will extend 18 inches, and has a GTW of 3,500 lbs. Another solution is to go with an extra long ball mount like the Curt # C45270 which is 13 inches long. It's rated for 7500 lbs. GTW and 750 lbs. TW which is still enough for your Rockwood.

  Your number one priority with picking out a ball mount needs to be going with one that allows the trailer to tow as level as possible.

• Towing Trailer that Requires 4 inch Drop and Carrying Bike Rack Recommendation
  Your calculations are correct, you would need a 4 inch drop ball mount so that your trailer could be towed level. The # D210 has a drop of 2-1/4 inches so it would make your trailer a bit nose high. Since you want to carry bikes and tow your trailer a better option would be a ball mount with a 4 inch drop like part # C45270 and then a towing bike rack like part # S64664 that attaches to the shank of the ball mount.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis W/ Dual Exhaust
  The Class III rating on a trailer hitch receiver means it has a 2" receiver and has a higher tongue weight and trailer weight rating than a Class I or II hitch. Class III hitches are what we typically recommend if they are available for the specific vehicle as the 2" receiver offers the most options for accessories like a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount, and the increased tongue weight and trailer weight ratings are ideal for knowing the receiver on your vehicle is plenty strong...

• Option for Adding Length Between Tow Vehicle and Trailer
  You didn't say how much more length you'd need to let your tailgate open but we have the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 which is 13 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole to center of the pin hole. This is most likely longer than what you have.

• Longer Ball Mount for More Clearance Between 2016 Chevy Traverse and Boat Trailer
  A longer ball mount will not cause you any problems as far as capacity or clearances or anything like that. So, if the Curt ball mount # C45270 has the proper capacity (7,500 pound gross trailer weight and 750 pounds tongue weight) then it will work with your 2016 Chevy Traverse. The Hidden Hitch ball mount 80228 has a little more rise, 2-3/4 inches, and the capacity is lower (6,000/600) and is shorter. Since the Curt ball mount is more like what you are looking for I would go with it.

• Recommended Trailer Jack To Clear Tailgate With A-Frame Trailer
  I do have an option for you but the tongue jack only needs to be rated for the tongue weight of your trailer which will only be around 10-15% of its loaded weight. Therefore, you are likely only going to need around a 700-1,000 lb weight capacity. The higher rated you go, the better off you will be but an 8,000 lb option would be far too much. In order to clear your tailgate while the trailer is attached you are likely going to need a side mount, swivel option. I recommend the Bulldog Round...
