Question:
As I am uncomfortable with a cargo carrier being so close to the ground8 when installed on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee is there a lift kit available for my reciever hitch that will accommodate abd raise a cargo carrier?

Hey Todd, I think I have a better solution for you with the etrailer cargo carrier part # e98874 which has 2-1/2 inches of rise built into the shank of the carrier. There really isn't a great rise adapter that should be used with a cargo carrier like the part # FHG87ZR because they add a lot of movement and leverage over the hitch. Do you have a steep driveway?

Hey Todd, did the etrailer cargo carrier with the built-in rise work out for your Jeep Cherokee? I'm curious to know if it helped with the ground clearance issue you were concerned about. Your experience could really help others facing a similar situation!
