Dual Hitch Adapter Solution for Needing 6 inch Rise/Drop
Question:
Can I use the Malone MPG544 in conjunction with a hitch such as a Roadmaster Hi-Low hitch? I need a to get my tow bar level with the road, and want the higher 2inch receiver for a bike rack so that the bike rack doesnt hit my towed vehicle while making a turn. I currently use a Roadmaster 077-4 with the 4inch down to keep the tow bar level with the road, but I am not confident the 2inch raise is high enough for a bike rack. I tow a Ford CMAX with a Winnebago Via. The hitch receiver on the RV is somewhat high, and the tow brackets on the CMAX are low. I plan to use the Hollywood Racks to carry two electric bikes so the weight will be a bit over 100lbs.

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you but we can't recommend using two hitch adapters at the same time due to how much added leverage and movement would be added. Instead your best option would be Roadmaster dual hitch adapter like the part # RM-077-6 which gives you ability to have 6 inch rise or drop for one hitch opening and a 2 inch rise/drop for the other opening.
