How to Select High/Low Hitch Adapter for Motorhome and Towed Vehicle to Keep Tow Bar Level

Question:

I traded motorhomes and now I am getting uneven tire wear. The new motorhome hitch is lower to the ground. Would a riser help? Also, do these retain towing capacity when used as a riser? I want 7,500+ capacity.

The Blue Ox 2-Inch High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-048-4 has a 10,000-lb towing capacity in both 4-inch rise or 4-inch drop positions.

If your towed car is now showing unusual tire wear when towed by your new motorhome you will want to make sure that when hitched at both ends your tow bar is close to perfectly level. If the tow bar were to be several inches lower at the motorhome end it could pull down on the front of the toad and cause more pressure and wear on the tires. Tow bars work best when they are level.
