Question:
Hello, I purchased an 500 lb cargo rack from you a few years ago. It sits a bit too high on my vehicle and I would like to lower it. The heaviest item I use the rack for is a 240lb snowblower. Would the Yakima FlipFlop High-Low Adapter - 2 Hitches - 2-1/8 Rise/ - 15-1/2 Long Part Number: Y64MX be the appropriate adapter?

Expert Reply:
Welcome back Jim! The Yakima FlipFlop High-Low Adapter item # Y64MX will indeed work to help lower the deck height on your cargo rack. It'll lower the 2" receiver connection by 2-1/8".
The Yakima FlipFlop item # Y64MX has a 350 lbs weight capacity. It fits a 2" hitch receiver and extends out 7-1/4" from your vehicle's hitch pin. This adapter can only be used for accessories. You can not tow with it.
Please note that the use of any adapter, including the FlipFlop item # Y64MX, will reduce your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%.
