Question:
I just bought an Overland trailer with a lock and roll hitch system. I have the vehicle side receiver, set up as a riser, but the trailer is still taller and is pointing down. Is it safe to stack receiver hitches so I can adjust the height of the trailer tongue Even higher? I guess I would put another riser between the vehicle and the lock and roll vehicle side receiver?

Brian, no you can not keep stacking receivers to get the height you need. You just need to measure the rise your trailer needs using the FAQ I've attached and get an adjustable ball mount like the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # MD204 to bridge the difference.
