Roll pan hitch installed



I had a tow bar installed on my vacation. The tow is hidden behind the roll pan. Now I need a lengthed receiver. A standard receiver is too close to the tail gate. I may buy an extention or have a extra long receiver modified for my use.

Re: Roll pan hitch installed

Can you make one with a V-bracket? The V-bracket to center trailers over the ball? Brackets plates should be thick enough not to bend easily. I found one insert with holes drilled from 8.5 to 10.25". I need to measure on how well it fits. I know there are 10-12" extensions too. However having two pins is pushing safety too.
