Longest Available 2-Inch Hitch Extensions for Use with Truck Bed Camper
Question:
Our truck has a 2inch receiver. Were looking at buying a cabover that requires a 48inch extension. Will a 48inch extension go in a 2inch receiver or is it a 2 1/2inch receiver?

Expert Reply:
For a 2-inch hitch the longest hitch extensions we offer are the 60-inch # TLE1560 and 48-inch # TLE1548, both from TorkLift. However, these only work along with a TorkLift brand SuperHitch dual-receiver type hitch that has the strength and included safety chains to handle the extra stress from the trailer load being further from the hitch. To use one of these you will need to also install a SuperHitch.
The longest standard 2-inch hitch extension that will work in any hitch is 18-inches, such as # C45796, # HE18 or # ST18.
