Question:
I have a 1988 Land Rover 90 Defender with a 2 receiver. My Thule 4 Bike rack is very close to my spare tire. Looking for the best hitch extender. Which extender is the strongest, best quality?

Expert Reply:
The best hitch extender will be the shortest one that still gives you the clearance you need. Since it sounds like you only need a little more clearance our shortest option which is the Brophy part # HE06 which is an extension that is 7 inches long. You should note that hitch extenders cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent though.
