Question:

I bought a 2 inch hitch for my 2022 Chevy equinox and the hitch hangs to low that it hits on my driveway and others. I don’t understand why this hitch was made this way. Is there anything you can do for me about this?

Expert Reply:

I find the best solution is to add some rear suspension enhancement to reduce some of the sag you may be experiencing with your 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. Currently the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL39PD is our only confirmed to fit suspension enhancement for your Equinox. These air springs work to reduce suspension sag by pressing in between the coil springs.

The Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980 will allow you to wirelessly control the air pressure in the bags to give you the best support and ride quality.

I have seen where it is best to use a Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller # UF48-979021 mounted to the Receiver # 76419. The roller will allow the receiver to roll rather than drag or dig into the pavement as there are some driveways with to much angel to eliminate dragging even with suspension enhancement.
