The Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" Long # C45048 is measured by the distance between the center of the hitch pin holes. The hitch pin holes closest to each end are 34" apart center on center; the middle hitch pin hole to the hitch pin hole closest to the 2" receiver end are 24" apart.

Hi Robert, So I know you don't want to, but the only option for a hitch extension for your 2-1/2 inch hitch does reduce the receiver to 2 inches. I hope you're not mad at me, but there unfortunately is no 2-1/2 inch hitch extender that also…

Hi Robert, So there isn't one that can be used with a cordless drill (which would be an electric jack only) as all the electric A-frame jacks are all higher than the 12" to 14" you want. There is a manual crank jack you can use which I…
