  • Can RockyMounts Hitch Extender RKY10011 Be Matched To An Existing Key Code?
    Hello Adam, thanks for reaching out. I am sorry to say we do not have a way to match the RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS w/ Hitch Pin and Lock # RKY10011 to a specific key code. We can definitely provide you with one, but the key code would be random. If you are needing one with the specific E107 key that would have to be ordered directly from RockyMounts.

  • Recommended Hitch Extender for a Bike Rack
    Yes, your assessment is correct. The RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS w/ Hitch Pin and Lock item # RKY10011 will reduce your hitches capacity by 50%. You will still have more than enough capacity to carry your 1 Up 4 bike carrier. However, this extender is only recommended to be used with 3 bikes or less. If you are carrying 4 you will want to use the Brophy Hitch Extender item # HE06. It does have the same 50% reduction but it has no limit on the number of bikes you can carry. You add the...

  • Recommended Hitch Extension to Clear a Spare Tire on a Ford Bronco
    Hey Steve! I am going to give you a couple of options, because I don't know how far back your hitch pin hole is from the edge of your spare tire. The closest part of the RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack item # RKY10002 is 7", from the hitch pin hole, when folded up. What you'll need to do is measure from your Bronco's hitch pin hole to the edge of your spare tire and subtract 6". This will give you a margin for movement of the bike rack so it's not bouncing off your spare. Whatever number...

  • Will the Kuat Beta Bike Rack Clear the Spare Tire on a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe?
    Hey Alan, thanks for reaching out! According to Kuat, the Kuat Beta Bike Rack # B202-114 alone won't be long enough to clear the spare tire, but I've got some alternatives I'd like to tell you about: What I recommend doing is getting the RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS w/ Hitch Pin and Lock # RKY10011 and using that with the Kuat Beta # B202-2 designed for 2" hitches so that you get an extra 8" of clearance to your spare tire. Both RockyMounts and Kuat will say not to use this combination...

  • Solution for Extensions Not Fitting Hitch on 2024 Ineos Grenadier
    Hi Andy; what exactly do you mean by common extensions are slightly larger than will fit? Based on the vehicle I would assume it would have a 2" receiver on the hitch. Do 2" accessories not slide in correctly? If that is the case, even the shank from a bike rack would not fit. If you could clarify that would be helpful. Industry standard receiver sizes are 1-1/4", 2", 2-1/2", and 3". If my thinking is correct, can you measure the receiver opening? It looks like these were recently imported...

  • How Long Is The Lock And Key That Comes With The RockyMounts Hitch Extender RKY10011?
    Hello Tien, thanks for reaching out. I went and grabbed one of the RockyMounts Hitch Extenders # RKY10011 from our warehouse and I measured the hitch pin. With the key inserted it is about 6-1/4" long. The key itself is about 1-7/8" long. Without the key inserted, the lock it about 5-1/5" long. I hope this helps. Are you using this for a bike rack? What kind?

  • Can The RockyMounts Extender RKY10011 Be Used With A RockyMounts Gigawatt Bike Rack?
    Hi James! The RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS w/ Hitch Pin and Lock - 2" Hitches - 8" Long # RKY10011 can indeed be used with the RockyMounts Gigawatt Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY37MR. Just be aware that using an extender like this, even with its anti-rattle locking hitch pin, it will cut the carrying capacity of your hitch in half. With that said, I would not use bikes over 40 pounds when using it to keep everything safe. What kind of bikes are you wanting to...

  • Hitch Extender Recommendation to Fit Yakima OnRamp On RV
    Thank you for reaching out and providing all of the details! I have a solution for you to extend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes Y36FR further out from your Arctic Fox 5th wheel RV but I think it's at least worth noting 2 things; the weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be cut in half when using the extension (like you said) and that the OnRamp isn't rated for use at the back of a 5th wheel as Yakima states there is too much movement so the rack can't handle it....

  • Comparing the RockyMounts Hitch Extenders RKY10011 and RKY10008
    There are a few differences between the RockyMounts Hitch Extender part # RKY10011 (LS) and part # RKY10008. The first is that the LS model has a premium lock core body which more durable. It also has a better anti-rattle design so there will be a further reduction in movement.

  • Carrying A RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack On My 2021 Ram ProMaster Landed Gear Spare Tire Rack
    I do have a solution for you, provided you do not have a factory trailer hitch. In order for this hitch bike rack to fit on your vehicle, you will need a hitch extender if you need 11" of space. Unfortunately, anytime you add a hitch extender you reduce the maximum tongue weight of the trailer hitch by 50%. The factory trailer hitch of your 2021 Ram ProMaster 3500 is 220 lbs. Adding the hitch adapter will change the maximum tongue weight of the trailer hitch to 110 lbs. The weight of your...

  • Can I Use the RockyMounts BackStage on 2021 Ram Promaster 3500 with Rear Spare Tire
    I'll start out by saying that if the manufacturer of the vehicle states a 220-lbs tongue weight limit, then that is the safe limit they've tested for the frame; there may be other items at the rear of your coach that will also put stress on this portion of the frame. You will always be limited by the lowest rated component in any hitch/vehicle/accessory combo and in this case the vehicle's frame can only handle 220-lbs of tongue weight, so what the hitch is rated for won't matter.

  • Will 2-1/2 inch Hitch Extender Cut Capacity When Towing Trailer
    Hitch extenders/adapter cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent due to the added leverage and movement. So we have hitch extenders like the part # HR26 that fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch you have to make sure the diminished capacity won't be an issue by verifying the capacity of the trailer and hitch.

  • Will RockyMounts Hitch Extender Allow 180 lb Tire Carrier to Work on 2018 Toyota 4Runner
    The RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS # RKY10011 will absolutely work for you on your 2018 Toyota 4Runner based on the weights you gave. A hitch adapter, like an extender, reduces the overall capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. Since you mentioned your tongue weight capacity is 500 lbs, the use of this extender will reduce that to 250 lbs. But since the total weight of your hitch-mounted tire carrier, wheel, tire and gas can is 180 lbs, you are under the capacity and good to go! I have...

  • Can You Flip RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS Upside Down
    In regards to the RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS part # RKY10011, the hitch pin has to be inserted from the passenger side for the anti rattle to engage. That said, you should be able to simply turn the extender upside down so that the hitch pin is then inserted from the driver side.

  • Is There an Anti-Rattle for the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars
    I do have an option for you but I don't really know of a way to give you everything you want with the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars part # BX88265. If you use the hitch pin hole closest to the end of the shank you might be able to fit the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II part # BX88224 and add the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches part # e98880 but that is all I have for you. Instead, a much better option would be the RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS part # RKY10011...

  • Trailer Hitch With Best Bumper Clearance for 2019 Ford Transit T150
    So I was unable to find your order based on your email or name, so I'm not sure which hitch you bought from us, but what I can tell you is that based on installations we've done, the trailer hitch for your 2019 Ford Transit T150 with the best bumper clearance is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75912. All of the hitches for your van are going to be recessed under the bumper a bit, but the Draw-Tite will be less than others. If that's what you have and are still running into problems...
