MAXXHAUL Trailer Hitch Riser for 2" Receivers — 6" Rise/Drop Steel Adapter, 500 lb Tongue Weight, Powder‑Coated

The MAXXHAUL 50909 Trailer Hitch Riser is a heavy‑duty 6" rise or drop steel height adapter for 2" receivers that levels bike racks, cargo carriers, and other hitch‑mounted accessories while supporting up to 500 lb tongue weight.

When a vehicle's hitch sits significantly higher or lower than the accessory, the result can be awkward angles, poor clearance, or bumper contact. The MAXXHAUL 50909 addresses those alignment problems by adding or subtracting 6 inches of vertical travel using a solid alloy steel riser. Designed specifically for non‑towing accessories, it provides a rugged, corrosion‑resistant option to fine tune accessory height and improve ground clearance without welding or permanent modifications.

How does this riser fix clearance or angle problems?

The riser moves your hitch mount up or down by 6 inches so accessories sit level and clear bumpers or rear bodywork. It's especially useful when the vehicle's stock hitch and the accessory are not at the same height.

• 6" rise or 6" drop correction to align accessory angle.
• Triple pin hole positions let you fine tune shank length and clearance.
• Solid alloy steel resists flex under load for stable accessory mounting.

Will this work with my 2" hitch receiver and my bike rack or cargo carrier?

The MAXXHAUL 50909 fits standard 2" (Class III/IV) receivers, making it compatible with most bike racks, cargo carriers, mobility platforms, and similar non‑towing accessories. It is not engineered or rated for trailer towing.

• Designed for 2" hitch receivers common on SUVs and trucks.
• Supports up to 500 lb tongue weight for heavy accessory loads.
• Includes two 5/8" hitch pins so you can install immediately.

How durable and weatherproof is the MAXXHAUL riser?

Built from heavy solid alloy steel with a black powder coat, the riser is made to withstand outdoor conditions and repeated use. The finish adds corrosion resistance while the thick steel construction reduces wear and bending under load.

• Solid alloy steel body for long‑term strength and stability.
• Black powder‑coated finish helps resist rust, dust, and corrosion.
• 16 lb unit weight conveys substantial construction and rigidity.

How easy is installation and adjustment?

Installation is straightforward: slide the riser into a 2" receiver and secure with the supplied hitch pins. The triple pin hole layout offers three shank positions, so you can adjust clearance without swapping parts or tools beyond the pins.

• Slides into standard 2" receiver and secures with included 5/8" pins.
• Three pin positions for quick height tuning and reduced bumper contact.
• No welding or permanent modification required; removable when not needed.

Who this is for: The MAXXHAUL 50909 is ideal for drivers who regularly use hitch‑mounted accessories on vehicles with nonstandard ride heights — such as lifted trucks, lowered cars, or SUVs carrying bulky loads. It's a practical choice for cyclists, campers, contractors, and anyone who needs reliable, adjustable clearance for bike racks, cargo carriers, mobility platforms, or other non‑towing hitch accessories.
