I NEED TO RAISE MY WHEEL CHAIR UP SO THAT I CAN GET INTO MY DRIVE WAY. GOT A 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX, NEED TO RAISE ABOUT 4 INCHES. WHAT DO I NEED? THANKS HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Expert Reply:
Hitch extenders and similar adapters cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed on in half so I can't recommend any product (if there was one available), that would allow you more clearance so that your wheel chair carrier would clear the driveway angle better.
The best solution I can provide for you would be to approach your driveway at an angle so that the carrier won't tilt back as far as you make the transition up the driveway.
