Best Jeep JL Wrangler Hitch Adapters

I use the extender on my bike rack so I can access my tailgate and truck bed with the rack on. It does what it supposed to do and looks barely used although I travel to trails twice a week.

I needed my bike to clear my bumper on a front hitch and this did the trick. This extender is hollow so I was able to use anti rattle/ lock before adding bike rack.

Worked out great for my family bike adventure. Traveled with that setup over 1000 miles and it was easy drive. I had cargo carrier on the bottom and bike rack on top, and with that setup and 4 people on board still plenty of ground clearance 11". Dual hitch is a solid piece of steel that can carry a lot of lbs. Just don't overload max. tong weight, need some room for safety!

piece seems incredibly well built. was delivered incredibly fast and free shipping for a 24 lb item. problem was square receiver was too high off ground for the e.bike wrack to be a comfortable height to lift or ramp the bike onto the hauler. the 6 inch drop made this much easier

Just received my 80307 Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 8" Long. My newly upsized spare tire had been preventing the use of my hitch rack. Was very pleased with the etrailer service and the ease of using the website. The excellent descriptions, photos, and even videos really help shopping for these types of specialty parts. Shipping went well and expediently. I trial fit the extension with my hitch rack today, and the photos are attached. It fit well and did the trick. I drove around and heard no rattles from it at all.

Needed to extend receiver to reach past box and add a carrier for cans.

Was looking for a way to carry 2 e-bikes on a Hollywood rack, and tow my Jeep, behind my Class A RV. This dual hitch looks like it will do exactly what I want, at least when doing my test set-up. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5star is because when the rack and Blue Ox tow bar were installed, there was significant “slop”. I resolved this problem by buying an adapter at the local hardware store, and it is now tight as it should be.

Exactly what I needed. Now able to add storage box and still pull tow Dolly.

This has worked great to reduce my 2" hitch so that I can continue to use my 1 1/4" Thule bike rack, and I like that it doesn't extend out much from the hitch. After my last trip though, the inset separated from the larger piece. I can still use it, but without the smaller piece fixed in place, I can't put it on the car first and then slide the bike rack into it since the smaller piece slides, and it's impossible to line the holes up. It's also rusted more than I expected. It wasn't inexpensive, and I was hoping it would last longer. I've used it for maybe a dozen trips.

Based on an initial fit, the bike rack stinger is a bit loose in the reducer. If tightening the threaded pin does not reduce the wobble, I can add some shims since I intend to keep the reducer mounted on the bike rack. The reducer is an easy fit into the 2" receiver - the Quiet Hitch removed any movement.

Ordered exactly what I needed to lift my tow bar !!! Love that etrailer carries roadmaster products

Works well on my 2014 Wrangler Unlimited. Yakima Swing Daddy - 4 bike rack. I am able to open the gate completely until it locks.

Delivery was fast, packaged very well, and the hitch extension is really well made. It is perfect for getting my bike rack away from my rear door to allow access to the back of my Forester. Impressive construction. I will recommend it to others.

I bought this hitch extender to move my Swagman bike rack further away from the back of my trailer because the bike handle bars were rubbing against the trailer. I chose this extension because of the anti-rattle pin to better secure the hitch during transport. This extension moved the bikes far enough away that the handle bars no longer rubbed against the trailer. It also allowed the receiver to be centered on the back of the trailer because the bike tires no longer interfered with the spare tire on the back, provided clearance to access the city water connection with the bikes still loaded, and provided better visibility to one of the rear taillights since the receiver could be moved to the center of the trailer. After a 2,000 mile journey, the pin never came loose and the bike rack on the extension rode smoothly. This extension solved many issues i was having with the bike rack on the back of my trailer.

I recommend etrailer. Customer service helped me get the bike rack and swing away to fit my needs. The Pivot 2 works wonderfully when it’s not broken. First the release latch stopped working within a month-Kuat customer service replaced it. Then there was a 1.5”split in the steel where the bike rack slides in, (it could have been a very tragic outcome had I not removed my bike rack when I did).Kuat customer service would not give me a refund but they did replace it with another one. Here’s hoping third one is the charm. Note: I went directly through Kuat when I had a problem not etrailer. I didn’t give etrailer the opportunity to make it right because I was traveling and felt as though the manufacturer would get me faster results. I’m not sure if that was the best decision.

Excellent product, solidly built and easy to install. I was hesitant because of the full size spare tire on the back ladder. The videos and the specifications (especially the sizing details) gave me all the info I needed to make the decision to install it on my Sprinter. The swing away rack gives me full access to the rear of the vehicle. I wish I had bought it sooner.

Easy company to order trailer hitch parts from. Quality and precise fit as advertised in their easy to use online shopping guide.

I ordered this adapter from e-Trailer so I could extend my bike rack past my spare tire on my 2005 Honda CRV. This solved my problem and this thing is well made to take the weight. I'm glad I purchased from e-trailer because I know now that they sell quality products as I have also purchased a new receiver, ball mount and 2' ball to pull my trailer. If your goal is quality, great service and fast shipping then e-Trailer is one company to go with.

This is a very high quailty-made item. Very well packaged also. It would have 5 stars but no matter how I try. I cannot remove the sloppy fitting with the adjustment screw. I have a standard 2 inch receiver. On all the advertisement videos, it looks easy and the adjustment screw turns easily. Mine sounds like a squealing pig when I turn it. I even looked through the other end and can see it’s greased.

Love the rack and the folks at e-trailer got it to me remarkably fast. Everything looked great set up for the most part. The directions were very clear and it required minimal effort.

This is a much higher quality (thick and heavy) than I imagined it would be; I'm pleasantly surprised. I'll be using it to mount a trailer hitch cargo carrier and a dog step at the same time when we go on long vacations.

Beefy. I have no doubts of the capacity of either side of this hitch adapter, there's plenty of weld to hold it all together. Very few options will provide minimal drop (for an off-road trailer) and minimal rise on the other side for an additional bike rack or cargo carrier. Jeeps are tough since you need to be able to open the gate. This one clears no problem. My spare is up on a slant back carrier, but I think the stock spare should clear as well. Get you a "Trimax THC200 Universal Anti-Rattle Clamp Fits 2" Hitch" and this thing is solid as stone.

Product quality is fine, however, tried to use with an ebike rack on upper hitch and flat tow hitch on bottom. Vehicle sway at highway speeds was too much, and I found bike rack on back of the towed Jeep was better.

Appropriately heavy for the job!

Excellent hitch extender, very well built, arrived quickly.

Works well on my side by side to get the ball to a usable reach. The threaded pin makes it difficult to take on and off (can't use a non threaded in). I have to lay on the ground to do this. It does not rattle that is for sure so in an application where that is important, and where you have normal access I am sure it is fine. I simply needed this specific length.

Melissa saves the day!!! I needed a hitch extension to install my bicycle rack on my new 5th-wheel RV. I ordered several other different accessories for my new RV and after 2 weeks the Hitch Extension had not been shipped despite being in stock. I called for the second time and Melissa straightened things out in a number of minutes and got the hitch extension shipped immediately and just in time for my camping trip. By the way - the Yakima straightshot worked perfectly! Very high quality and just the right length for my bike rack.

Works fantastic. Gets the trike rack out far enough to open the tailgate and canopy door.

One year of ownership and several road trips of use - This hitch adapter has been great for letting me carry more gear (specifically my bikes on a rack) along with my trailer. I'm very happy. Well worth the money spent. I will note one thing: be diligent about measuring and calculating how your gear racks will stick out from your vehicle with this. The clearance on my bikes to my trailer was exactly enough on a turn. If my trailer was 2 inches closer and it wouldn't have worked.

Used the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver to have a bike rack with two bikes on the upper Receiver and a 21' bassboat on the lower Receiver. Ran down to Florida Everglades, Florida Keys and back home. Almost exactly 4,000 miles. Hitch worked perfectly. I did find that you can not "jacknife" the boat as much or the bow of the boat will touch the bikes on the rack but that is to be expected. Hitch was quiet, strong and exceeded my expectations. Easy to install and looking forward to using it again in a month for another 4,000 mile road trip. Note: I drive fast and the roads are not always perfect. This is a sturdy Hitch Receiver. Hope this review helps you. Sorry, crummy photo as the Receiver is a "set it and forget it" product. Be well.

Rattle’s excessively when there is not a load. the dual hitch is great. I am able to tow my trailer and carry my bike rack

I’ve been using this product every day for over a year at this point. On the back of our Class C RV it supports a bike rack carrying 3 bikes (one is a heavy eBike) and a Roadmaster tow bar, which connects to a Jeep Wrangler when we travel. It provides the need height for the bike rack and the drop needed for the tow bar to be level with front of the Jeep. We are full time RVers, so it gets a lot of use. It has worked perfectly and remains in new condition.

Great product for flat towing a lifted vehicle. Very strong and high quality. Allows tow bar to be level with the towed vehicle and the towing vehicle for safer towing

My Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver arrived on time, as promised. It will go hand in hand with the Blue Ox flat towing equipment that was installed on my car this past Saturday, June 29. I will be using this equipment for the first time this coming Monday, and expect it to perform very well. It is replacing a tow dolly that did its job properly, but, at my age, was becoming too difficult for me to load and unload my car.

It extrudes to far out with the setup that I have making the trailer lights cord to short to plug up. But your product looks great

I'm flat towing an F350 behind my Entegra Cornerstone. The 4" lift allows for level tow arms when towing this tall vehicle. I've towed 7500 miles over the past year with no issues. This is a solid well-built product.

I have included some photos of the hitch extension. The first two are just on my truck without and with the extension. Without the extension, note the proximity of bike handlebars to the tailgate. In the second photo with the extension, the handlebars are much removed from the tailgate. Note that this is a ¾ ton truck with an insert in the receiver. With the insert in place, the front holes of extension did not align with the receiver. It was short 1/8 to 3/16 inch. If needed, I could solve this issue with a smaller bolt. The next photos are without and with the extension in the receiver of our RV. With the cover on RV the dramatic effect of extension is not so obvious. In the first photo without the extension, the handlebars of bike literally contact the back of RV. In contrast in the second photo, the handlebars are 5 to 6 inches from the back of the RV. Though there are no road trips yet, I am confident that the hitch extension will protect the bike and importantly will protect the back of the RV. I hope that these comments and photos are useful to you. If no, I can try again in spring when we remove cover from the RV.

My order was shipped within an hour of me completing the online order process and it arrived a day early which was great!

Love it! It swings out of the way so I can get the back door open. The other advantage is it allows the back door to be open a few inches at night (when the hitch is in the locked position) for airflow when it’s hot.

Already have a Sris bike rack, has been an excellent rack and well be compatible with this hitch, both very well built
