Question:

I have a Ford F 150 with a 2inch hitch and receiver. When towing my boat i am unable to lower the tailgate completely. I would require an extension around 6. The boat weights approx 6800 lbs. Do you offer an extender that would work with this application?

We do offer 2-inch hitch extenders that can give you extra clearance for your F-150 tailgate. You can see these by clicking on the link I included for you. Blue Ox part # BX88265 provides 6-3/4-inches of extension and is rated for 10K.
