Can Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock Be Trimmed?

Question:
Once the span of the shaft is determined can the shaft be cut to eliminate any excess unwanted length?

Expert Reply:
If you want to trim off the excess part of the shaft for the Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR you are more than welcome to - I just recommend keeping at least one extra segment in place.
Really the only reason to not trim it is for longevity sake. If you end up getting a trailer that requires that part of the lock to be longer then you'll need to purchase a new lock instead of being able to use this same lock. But the call is totally up to you!
It is important to note that this does come with a 2-year warranty that will be voided if you modify the lock like that.
