Question:

Hello, Do you have an extension so that I could use it vertically to carry long ladders on roof of truck, but still be able to open tail gate with enough clearance to get to tools on bed of truck without removing it.

Helpful Expert Reply:

We have an 18 inch extension for 2 inch hitches like the part # C45796 which should give you enough clearance with the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Extender part # MPG907 to use it in the vertical position and still open the tailgate.

You should note though that when you use an extender like this you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch it's installed in by 50 percent.
