My hitch is very high. If I turn this upside down can I tow a trailer using the lower adapter part?

Yes but it isn't designed for that. Trailering would put a lot of stress on the four welds attaching the two parts. You would be better off buying a hitch designed for that purpose. We call them drop hitches around here. Good luck.

Extending the shank might adversly effect the weight distribution and sway control of the hitch. I would recommend contacting the engineers at Andersen. You are changing factory specs, so better check first

I think trailer hitch holders come in a few different sizes. Maybe you need an adapter?

Put it on a chevy equinox suv. Lower than a pick up truck and bottom will scrap the ground going up an incline. My carrier is sits level on the hitch.I would like to get a hitch riser to raiser it up a few inches.

Not only is the height adjustable, but you can tilt the hitch to allow the proper amount of flex in the torsion bars. Try the adjustment with the hitch connected, the trailer loaded with about 10% of the gross trailer load as a hitch weight. Then adjust the hitch height and tension bars so the tow vehicle drops about one inch with everything connected and properly loaded.

Hmmm, although I have not tried it . Mine came with a steel bar to attach so a trailer could be pulled and having hefted it I know it would work for a tow hitch . But, personally I want my trailer hooked directly to my tow bar .

I used a cargo basket attachment and the weight did bend the hitch I would not recommend adding that much weight with this adapter. Hope this helps!

This product should work better on a 1 1/4 hitch rather than a 2" hitch with the adapter. There would be less flex and it is a sturdier connection. I had 2". Just make sure the screws that hold the safety latch are tight.

I put mine in the other way, I needed to drop down from hitch level. I found this same plate at tractor supply, but it was $60 more for the plate and the pint le hook

That depends on the height of the trailer you'll be towing. Go to this site to read about how to figure it out. http://www.etrailer.com/question-14216.html

Negative, as far as I can tell. Perhaps if you put an extender on the hitch it will work.

Shouldn't be an issue; only raises trailer about 6 inches; would have to be aware of angle on shoulder of road, and if too much, move to a lesser angle.

You should be able to lower your axel and also turn the top mount though it may be a bit tight.

Yeah, you'll just need to take the inner sliding part out and flip it over. You'll also need a ball mount for the hitch that goes on the other side.

The picture shows the hitch upside down. The long piece fits under the step of your step-bumper and bolts to it. If you have two holes through the step of your step-bumper, There is quite a bit of latitude (see the elongated holes) for adjustment to match up to your holes. You just meed to purchase bolts, nuts & washers.

I use upside down from picture with a carrier when I use the carrier and it allows room to open the SUV gate if stuff not to high. Also use as a drop to level the trailer. Only downside is it sticks out when nothing onit.

U need a ball hitch. The extension handle has a hole big enough to fit over ball. It comes with a caution to tow slowly
