Expert Reply:
The clearance of of the GearSpace 34 # HGK819 on your 2019 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 depends on how far your ladder rack and spare tire carrier extend from the rear of your vehicle. One way that you can determine for sure if you have enough space is by measuring the furthest outward surface of your tire carrier and ladder from the center of your hitch pin hole. If that measurement falls under 10 inches, you will not have interference when using the # HGK819 on your Sprinter. Unfortunately, even though the # HGK819 is extendable up to 31 inches, it must be in the "home" position in order to secure the carrier to your hitch receiver with the Silent Hitch Pin. If you find that you need more clearance, I recommend using a hitch extender like the Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 8" Long # e88YR to give you 8 additional inches of clearance (for a total of 18 inches). It is important to note that any time you use a hitch adapter, you decrease the weight capacity of your hitch by 50%.
