Features:
Specs:
Note: This adapter is designed to carry a bike rack only. Do not use to tow a vehicle or trailer. When using with a hitch-mounted accessory, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, the tongue weight of your hitch will be reduced by at least 50 percent.
This hitch extender lets you carry a Kuat bike rack on your vehicle with a rear-mounted spare tire. It has 10" of extra length. To install it just insert the extender into your hitch, align the pin hole with your hitch pin hole, and insert the hitch pin.
Anti-Rattle Flat-lock Hitch Cam
Kuat's Flat-lock hitch cam ensures a zero-wobble user experience. After installing your hitch pin, use the provided 8mm hex key to fully tighten the flat lock hitch cam to secure the Hi-Lo Pro to your vehicle.
Drop or Rise Position
This extender can also be used to lower or raise your bike rack 2". To provide clearance for your bike rack when your tailgate is lowered insert the unit with the head down. To give your bike rack clearance over steep driveways and other uneven terrain insert the unit with the head up.

My application is for a front hitch on a RAM 1500 to accommodate a 1Up bicycle rack. It was necessary for both bumper and ground clearance. The Kuat extender and rise is perfect for my application. The quality of the hitch is exceptional and the ability to mechanically adjust the fit secures the hitch extender insuring there is no slop are movement of the hitch. The cost is high, but the performance is worth every penny.
The Kuat Pro extension fit my needs well. Needed an extension to get my bike rack far enough from the 33" spare on the Wrangler. Fits right with no wobble or rattle. I am using the Hollywood Sport Rider SE2 HR1450Z bike rack. There is a little of side to side wobble when attached to the kuat, no up and down wobble.
I have the Kuat bike rack and was torn between getting this Kuat extension or just a regular extension. The Kuat is more expensive but the fitment is great and comes with a lock and adjusts so that there is no movement or rattle. So less accessories to deal with and also has a high low feature which is great if needed.
All Hitch adapters should have non rattle capability,and be of top quality like this Kuat !!
I highly recommend etrailer.com. They always have an answer and if they don't, they will do the research to give you the correct answer. The hitch extender is perfect for my Kuat Piston Pro rack, and the no wobble system is as advertised. Added bonus is that it comes with a lock.
Fast and easy to deal with! Thank you!
Excellent, moved my back rack back and down just enough to fully open my truck tailgate.
Looks like a high quality product. Will be installing today. Arrived fast with free shipping considering Covid transport delays. Customer service was awesome in ordering the parts for me.
The product was exactly as described and the same level of quality you would expect from Kuat (superb). Couldn’t be more pleased. The shipping/delivery was insanely fast and the entire purchasing experience was easy and efficient.
Great product but paint on one side wasn’t good

Im sorry to see that your hitch has received some scratches on it due to shipping. This does tend to happen and when it does, we recommend using a Rust-oleum type paint to cover up any scratches and prevent corrosion in the future during use. I have a link below for your reference. I have also sent this information over to our Customer Service Department for them to get into contact with you.
