Most Popular 8 Inch Extension for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited

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.

This hitch item not only worked exactly like I needed, but was of superior construction, as it included a unique primary lockpin idea that keeps the extension from wobbling, as well as locking the part to the vehicle receiver. I always get more value than expected on the accessories from etrailer.

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.

Definitely a quality product. Just installed and it's very solid. Fits perfectly on the Torque Lift Hitch

Torklift SuperTruss does not disappoint. Straight forward install, though the manual photos are extremely dark. Use the Torklift YouTube install video if needed. The 48” extension gives me the needed length beyond the TC I was looking for while still allowing 1,200 tongue and 12k overall towing capacity.

Just received the 41/48 inch hitch extension today so haven’t actually used it. However, one can tell the high quality by looking at the welds and thick paint coating. This item is extremely heavy. I expected some weight to it, but it surprised me. Also, the tubing has very tight tolerances. I have two ball mounts, neither of which slid into the extension on their own. I had to pound them in and tap them out with a 3 pound hammer. Once paint and labels were scraped away by this action the ball mounts were able to be slid in by hand. This extension will be used on my dually carrying my truck camper. I’ll be towing an aluminum trailer with a Can Am Spyder. Total weight towed will be less than 2000 pounds so I don’t expect the extension to be subjected to any stress.

As per my last 3 orders here are some pictures of how I received the item along with what was broke or bent. I can fix it but I shouldn’t have to. So I will try elsewhere from now on cant deal with your shipping dept , anymore.
