Great add on while tailgate is down
by:
Hitch a extension works perfectly with my hitch steps to work for my slide in camper.
A little bit wiggly in the connection (as to be expected)
I used hitch stabilizer clamps (x3) to tighten up the steps and they are rock solid
by:
I used the hitch extender to tow the logsplitter with the Gator. The receiver for the Gator is way back under the dump bed and really hard to access with the heavy log splitter. The extender brings the connect point out beyond the Gator bumper which is just perfect! Great quality, great price, and exactly what I needed.
by:
Steps and extender appear they will work well for my Ram 2500 with slide-in camper, having not loaded the camper to date. Unfortunately, the receiver on heavy duty Rams are 2 and 1/2 inches, so I needed to add a 2 inch reducer which doesn't fit as tightly, making the set up less rigid. But, this will be better than the bulky set of steps I used to carry and then hope for level ground on which to set them.

Best Quality and fast shipping, My go to for any trailering attachments!!!

Sorry to hear that, Gary. Can I ask what you were using it with when this happened? It really should have been able to handle more weight than that.

A must have with tailgate down.

Do you have a question about this Hitch Adapter?
  • How Much Does the Hitch Extender for the Brophy Hitch Mounted Stairs Weigh?
    Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out! The RHSE Receiver Hitch Stair Extender for Brophy Receiver Hitch Steps weighs approximately 15.1 lbs. Will you be using this with the Brophy hitch-mounted stairs, or with another accessory?

  • What Hitch Extender/Adapter Do I Need for My Reese Winch?
    I have a solution for you. The receiving end of the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE is only designed to fit Brophy Hitch Stairs # RHS2. Unfortunately, they will not be able to accommodate your Reese winch that is compatible with a 2-inch receiver. With that being said, if you need a hitch extender that will fit with your winch and allow for an additional accessory, I recommend the MaxxTow Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 10" Long # RM-077-10. It is important...

  • Solution for Adding Water Drum and Hitch Ball to Extender on Tractor 3 Point Hitch
    I'm pretty sure I understand what you're wanting to do but I don't think we have exactly what you're looking for. The closest option we have will be something like the Brophy Hitch Extender # RHSE that measures 19 inches long (which represents the longest such extender we have available) along with a fixed ball mount like the Curt # D-26 that would insert into the extender for an extra 12-5/8 inches of length plus the desired hole for a hitch ball. We also have the Lets Go Aero Flat Pipe...

  • Outside Diameter of Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs
    The outside diameter of the receiver portion for the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE is about 2-1/2" while the shank portion (that fits in your vehicle's hitch receiver) is about 2". Please note that this was designed to be used with the Brophy Hitch Stairs # RHS2 and hasn't been tested or approved as the base of a bike rack. If you let me know what bike rack you have I can see if we have a replacement part for it.

  • Can I Use The Brophy Hitch Extender With My Thule Bike Rack?
    Yes, the Brophy Hitch Extender # RHSE can be used with your Thule Bike Rack if you keep the weight under 250lbs. You still won't have FULL access to the bed of your truck though. I've used another product that allows me to use my truck however I want, even if there is a bike rack installed. Trust me, you will enjoy this product because it really does offer access unlike any hitch extender you will find. The Yakima BackSwing # y02483 will bring the mounting point 14" farther away from...

  • 18 Hitch Extension that Can be Used in 2 inch Hitch
    While the total extension that the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE provides is 19-1/2 inches from the closest pin holes it is not designed for use as a standard type of hitch extension. This should only be used with the hitch stairs # RHS2. That said, we do have a similar hitch extender that provides 18 inches of extension and also fits 2 inch hitches with the Curt # C45796. Since this was designed as a hitch extender it will work great for the application it sounds...

  • Recommended 42" Extension To Tow Golf Cart W/ 2003 Ford F-250 With Truck Bed Camper
    I have a replacement trailer hitch receiver option for you, but since your 2003 Ford F-250 has a 2" trailer hitch receiver the longest extension available is the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs - 2" Hitches - Black Powder Coated Steel # RHSE which is only 19" long. To get the 41" - 45" extension you are needing you will need to replace your factory trailer hitch receiver with the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2-1/2" and 2" # TLF1002-30...

  • How To Use 34 Trailer Hitch Extender In 2006 Dodge Ram 2500
    I have a replacement trailer hitch receiver option for you, but the longest extension compatible with the factory 2" trailer hitch receiver on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 is the 19" extension # RHSE. To get a 36" extension you will need to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15809 which will fit directly underneath your factory hitch and give you a 2-1/2" receiver. With a 2-1/2" receiver you can use the Titan Hitch Box Extension for...
