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.

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.

That's awesome Richard! Do you happen to have a photo you can share of your set up?

by: Kim 02/07/2023

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.

by: Ken 05/21/2024

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.

by: Renee 09/14/2022

Excellent, moved my back rack back and down just enough to fully open my truck tailgate.

by: Biswajit 09/17/2020

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.

All Hitch adapters should have non rattle capability,and be of top quality like this Kuat !!

by: Kyle 08/17/2022

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.

Works as advertised. Quality product.

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.

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?

Is Kuat Hi-Lo or Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extender Better For Anti-Rattle
Hey Ken, Great questions, and for the best overall anti-rattle the better option is definitely the Kuat Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extender # KU37FR. While the standard Hi-Lo # HL20B has an anti-rattle pin, it's not at the same level as the hitch cam anti-rattle of the Hi-Lo Pro. And even though your Piston Pro # KU76ZR also has anti-rattle, that's just for the hitch it's going into, if that makes sense. It might be easier to think of the extender as a separate hitch in this scenario. The Piston...

Distance from Hitch Pin Hole to Closest Part of Kuat Transfer V2 2" Hitch Bike Rack
Hi Michael; the closest cradle on the # KU84FR when folded is what Kuat shows at 5-7/8". That was an approximate measurement in the video and should be updated. Since 5-7/8" isn't enough for your 2013 Ford Edge SE you have two options. The first is to use the # HL20B or # KU37FR extension. However, an extension reduces your hitch capacity by 50%. The second is to get the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # KU74FR instead. This version of the bike rack has...

Will the Kuat Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extender KU37FR Work w/ Saris Bike Racks?
Yes, it will! The Kuat Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extender item # KU37FR is compatible with other bike rack manufacturer's like Saris. It fits 2" hitch receivers and has a 250 lbs weight capacity. Please note that use of an adapter or extender reduces your hitches capacity by 50%.

How Much Does the Kuat Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extender Weigh?
Hey Ron. The Kuat Hi-Lo Pro Hitch Extender item # KU37FR weighs 10 lbs. So long as you are coordinated and strong enough to manage the Kuat Sherpa like item # SH22B and the Hi-Lo Pro item # KU37FR connected there wouldn't be any issue leaving these two pieces together. Besides the additional weight, it's going to make the shank a few inches longer. What kind of vehicle do you have?

What Can I Use to Get Enough Clearance to Open the Tailgate with My Bike Rack Attached?
Hi Christopher, The adapters that we have to give you enough drop also come with a decent extension. I'd also be concerned about decreasing the ground clearance between the bike rack and the ground with more drop. If you're not wanting more extension like the 10" that comes with the Kuat Hi-Lo Pro part # KU37FR, your best option would be to use a swing away adapter. The Kuat Pivot V3 Swing Away Adapter for Bike Racks part # KU38CR will allow you to swing the entire bike rack away from...

Parts to Raise and Adapt 1-1/4" Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack to a 2" Hitch
We have exactly what you need so you can adapter your Kuat Sherpa rack to your vehicle: Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter - # D101 Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender - # KU37FR The extender gives you the ability to carry your bike rack 10" out farther away and 2-1/8" higher than how it is currently positioned, and then the adapter can be added to your bike rack shank so it comfortably fits a 2" receiver opening. Please note the extender will reduce the weight rating of your trailer hitch by 50% so...

Will The Kuat Sherpa Fit On My 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS With The Factory Hitch?
Yes the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G will work with your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS with the factory hitch, no adapter needed. If you wanted to get more ground clearance and create more distance between your back hatch and the rack, you could get the Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch extender # KU37FR which will give you 10 extra inches and a 2-1/8 inch drop. This can be used with other accessories, but it will cut your hitch capacity in half because of the extension. The Sherpa comes with a rack lock and a cable lock...
