Nilight Trailer Hitch Extension 2" Receiver 4" Rise/Drop, 5/7/9" Length, 7,500 lb Capacity

Nilight Trailer Hitch Extension is a heavy-duty, adjustable 2" receiver extension that provides a 4" rise or drop and selectable 5", 7" or 9" extension lengths to level your trailer or accessories.

This solid-steel hitch extension is engineered for drivers who need a stronger, quieter connection between their vehicle and hitch-mounted accessories. With a 7,500-pound gross towing capacity and a 400-pound tongue weight rating, it works with common bike racks, cargo carriers, ball mounts and small trailers. The extension uses full-edge welding, a corrosion-resistant powder coat over electrophoresis pretreatment, and includes stainless-steel hardware and an extra safety clip for secure towing.

How does the extension let me change rise or drop?

The shank is designed to give you a 4" vertical adjustment so you can raise or lower the hitch to match your trailer or accessory height. Install the shank into your vehicle's 2" receiver and use the three pin positions to set the extension length at 5", 7" or 9" horizontally.

• 4" vertical range to correct trailer angle
• Three shank hole positions for 5", 7" and 9" reach
• Fits standard 2" receivers for wide compatibility

Is this strong and safe enough for towing my gear?

Yes — the Nilight extension is built from solid steel (not hollow tubing) and rated up to 7,500 pounds gross towing weight with a combined tongue weight limit of 400 pounds. Full-edge welding and included stainless bolts reduce movement and improve durability under load.

• 7,500 lb GTW and 400 lb tongue weight capacity
• Solid-steel construction for heavy-duty towing
• Includes stainless bolts, flange nuts, and extra clip for added security

Will it resist rust, noise, and wobble during trips?

Corrosion resistance comes from an electrophoresis pretreatment followed by a durable black powder coat, which helps the extension stand up to rain, road grime and UV exposure. The supplied stainless hardware and tighter-fitting bolts minimize rattle; you can also pair it with a hitch tightener for even less movement.

• Electrophoresis + powder coat for long-term corrosion protection
• Full-edge welds increase structural integrity
• Stainless fasteners and reduced bolt play limit noise and movement

How easy is installation and compatibility with accessories?

Installation is straightforward: slide the extension into any industry-standard 2" receiver and secure with the included hardware and clip. The configurable shank positions let you align ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers or other hitch accessories for a level setup.

• Fits any standard 2" receiver with three insertion positions
• Ships with bolts, flange nuts and an extra safety clip for quick setup
• Works with common hitch accessories and allows use of hitch tighteners

Who is this for: Drivers who tow trailers, haul cargo carriers, mount bike racks, or need to correct trailer pitch will benefit from the Nilight Trailer Hitch Extension. It’s aimed at owners seeking a stronger, quieter, corrosion-resistant solution that offers adjustable reach and vertical correction for safer, more level towing and accessory use.
