Question:

Hello, I am interested in installing a hitch system to my 2019 BMW X3. I was watching Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver Installation - 2019 BMW X3inch video for item # SH46FR , the presenter talks about raised shank because the receive is too low 12.5 inch from the ground. I am wondering what are some of the option for raised shank for this hitch system? Thank you very much in advance for you time

Expert Reply:

The raised shank that is being referred to in the video for the Stealth Hitches # SH46FR is actually the shank on the accessory itself. For example, if you take a look at the Curt cargo carrier # C18151, you can see how the shank is completely straight and level. If you then take a look at the etrailer.com # e98874, you can see how the shank has a bend that lifts the carrier up a bit. This allows for better ground clearance.

It should also be noted that the # SH46FR is not designed to be towed with. If you do plan on towing with your 2019 BMW X3, you will need the # SH62VR. This comes with the same receiver tube, but also comes with a towing shank that includes a 2 inch ball.
