The CURT 45794 adds 5-1\/4\" of forward extension and lifts the receiver opening by 4-1\/4\", giving room for racks and carriers to sit higher and farther from the vehicle. Built in the USA, it pairs CNC-formed steel, robotic welding and a gloss black powder coat for a robust, long-lasting finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this adapter create more clearance for my accessory?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter raises the receiver opening 4-1\/4\" above the vehicle’s hitch and pushes that opening out 5-1\/4\" from the original receiver.
