• Can Length of Blue Ox High Low Adapter part # BX88235 be Extended
  Hey Richard, that's a clever idea but it's not recommended that you only use two bolts to extend the Blue Ox High Low Adapter part # BX88235 out further as that would reduce capacity to an unknown level since it was never tested for that. How much extension are you wanting and what weight capacity? Also this extender isn't currently available.

• Can Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars Be Used to Tow a Trailer
  The Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # BX88235 is designed for lateral pulling like what we see with a flat-tow setup since the towed vehicle is supported on all 4 wheels. For your application I recommend using the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-303 which offers the same rise/drop the Blue Ox does but this is more of a heavy duty piece that can be used for towing a trailer. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

• Why Does Blue Ox High Low Adapter BX88235 Use Bolts Instead of Welds
  There's no functional reason the Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # BX88235 uses bolt instead of welds that you would notice. By that I mean there isn't something different you can do with it based on the bolts like swap to a different drop by unbolting it . They also have a version that has a 7 inch drop with part # BX88241 which uses the same shank but has a lower drop so this allows a portion of this to be modular. This style has twice the weight capacity as the fully welded options...

Flat towing a vehicle like your Silverado 3500 requires a number of components, all of which are outlined in the linked article. These include...

• Option to Raise Cargo Carrier on Rear of 2006 Hyundai Tucson For Better Ground Clearance
  Blue Ox offers the # BX88235 adapter which would give your 3 inches of rise, and would allow you to retain the 500 lb capacity of your cargo carrier, but it shouldn't be used for towing a trailer. The # BX88241 offers 7 inches of rise, and also the capacity of the adapter mentioned above. The Roadmaster adapter you referenced wouldn't allow you to use the full capacity of your cargo carrier.

• Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount For 2014 Jeep Wrangler Using Weight Distribution System
  The adjustable shank that is included with the # RP66558 has a maximum drop of 2-7/8 inches. The adjustable shank we offer by Reese that has the greatest amount of drop is part # RP3344.

• How to Lower Front Receiver of 2013 Jeep Wrangler for Use with SnowSport Snow Plow
  Blue Ox offers a High-Low Adapter, part # BX88235 that might work for you if getting a 3 inch drop in the receiver would put you below the 16 inch maximum receiver height. This isn't an inexpensive solution, but the adapter has a huge weight capacity that will be needed to withstand the battering it will receive when used with a plow. Keep in mind that the adapter cannot be used for towing a trailer.

• 4 Inch High/Low Adapter Recommendation for a 2001 Fleedwood Bounder Towing 2013 Honda Fit
  I would go with the 4 inch drop like the RoadMaster High-Low Adapter part # RM-070 that you referenced for your 2013 Honda Fit being towed by a 2001 Fleetwood Bounder Class A motorhome. That would put you withing a 1/2 of an inch of being perfectly level and I believe would be your best option without breaking the bank on a 3 inch drop adapter like the Blue Ox High-Low Adapter # BX88235.
