• Can 2-1/2 inch Hitch Ball Mount be Extended Out Further
  Hey Keith, how much of an extension do you need? Another option might be a ball mount that is longer overall than what you have but to pick that out I would need to know the drop of your current ball mount as well as the length you have now and how much further out you need it to go and we can go from there.

• Why Is There A Difference In TW Capacity Between The etrailer # e53YR And Brophy # HR26
  Hey Walter, The quality of the steel plays a factor here but it also really just comes down to testing. At 351lbs # e53YR isn't going to just collapse but 350lbs might have just been the goal when it was designed so that's all it was tested to. The Brophy # hr26 has quite a bit more engineering and testing put into it, which is why it's also three times the price of the # e53YR.

• Can Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack be Used with 2-1/2 inch Hitch
  Hey Mike, to use the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # Y75AR with a 2-1/2 inch hitch will require an adapter like the # e53YR. This is an extension and not a sleeve adapter for the hitch but this will allow you to use the hitch pin setup of the Yakima bike rack better.

• Will Yakima Bike Racks Fit A 2-1/2" Hitch With A Reducer Sleeve?
  That will depend greatly on the adapter you have, Joe. If it's a sleeve that just slides in and the pin goes through the same hole in the sleeve as the accessory, the bike rack in this case, it will not fit. I couldn't find a better way to word this, but basically the same pin holds the reducer sleeve and the bike rack. I think that makes sense? Let me know if it doesn't. The pin that comes with the Yakima HangTight Vertical Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting # Y59GR is too short...

• Availability of 2-1/2" Hitch Extension to Open Tailgate Without Unhooking Trailer
  Hi Jeff; there are no ball mounts that are long enough to allow for this with your measurements so the only choice is to use an extension. The problem with an extension is that all of them also reduce the receiver down to a 2". It will also reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50% but in most cases that isn't a problem for a hitch with a 2-1/2" receiver. The # e53YR will give you a 7" extension from your hitch pin hole. A ball mount like the # C45331 has 8-1/2" from the center of the hitch...

• Do I Need A Mopar Wiring Kit For A 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  Hello Walter, thanks for reaching out. Our records show that the mopar wiring kit is not needed for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Some Jeep models report a "death wobble" issue and the mopar kit activates the power steering and resolves the issue. This will not be needed for your Jeep though.

• Is it Safe to Tow Using Reducer Sleeve on 2021 Ford F-250
  Reducer sleeves like the # BWRHXA2182 are often used for accessories, but it is perfectly acceptable to use them for towing as well. As long as it is just a reducer, and not a reducer and extension, it will not impact your towing capacity. If you got a reducer and extender like the # e53YR it will also reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50%.

• Is There Anything Holding Inno Tire Hold 1-Bike Rack In 2-1/2 to 2 Inch Sleeve
  You aren't missing anything whatsoever. Due to the way the Inno Tire Hold Bike Rack for 1 Bike # INH110 mounts, the only thing holding the 2 inch sleeve in your 2-1/2 inch hitch is the safety pin of the Tire Hold. Basically if it were a standard 2 inch hitch, tightening the Tire Hold's handle, like you mentioned, would help secure it in the hitch along with the safety pin, but with a sleeve, that doesn't happen. There isn't a product that will improve that specific connection, and I would...

• Can a Thule Bike Rack Be Used in a 2 1/2 inch Hitch?
  The 2 1/2 inch hitches will actually use a 5/8 inch pin like a 2 inch hitch will. With that being said, I am not aware of any SUVs that come with a 2 1/2 inch receiver hitch. Just to make sure, when verifying the size of a hitch, you do so by measuring the inside of the hitch where a bike rack would be inserted. If you do indeed have a 2 1/2 inch receiver opening, the correct pin will depend on if your Thule rack has a threaded pin and if it has a 1 1/4 to 2 inch adapter. If you have the...

• How to Use Thule Bike Rack with 3 inch Trailer Hitch
  You'd have to go with a hitch extender like the part # e53YR. This would fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch opening so you'd need to use one of your current sleeves but since this extends a 2 inch hitch out the pin of the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR would fit through it. It would extend the rack out an additional 7 inches but that shouldn't be an issue and due to the pin setup like you mentioned there really isn't any other options that would work.

• Hitch Extension For a 2021 Ram 2500 For 2-1/2" Receiver Pulling a 16' V-Nose Trailer
  Currently we go from a 7" Extension/Reducer # e53YR that fits your 2-1/2" receiver to a 24" Extension/Reducer # RP45292. Both of these will reduce the receiver from a 2-1/2" receiver to a 2" receiver. You may consider a Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-1124 as it will also help to cushion your ride. The hitch is 16-3/4" long from the rear receiver to the center of the ball mount.

• Availability of 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Reducer With 11 Inch Extension
  The closest thing we have to an all in one reducer and hitch extender is the # e53YR you looked at which is too short. To get an 11" extension you can use a reducer sleeve like the # e26YR and then add an extender on top of it. If this is just for a bike rack you could use the # HE6000 which is adjustable out to 11". If you plan on using this for towing, the closest size would be the # e28YR which is a 13-13/16" extension. Keep in mind, the use of any extender will reduce your hitch capacity...
