CURT Receiver Hitch Adapter 2"-to-2" (4" Drop/Rise) — 7,500 lb Rated Steel, Black Powder Coat

If your trailer, tow bar, bike rack or accessory sits too high or too low relative to your vehicle's hitch, this CURT receiver hitch adapter gives you a straightforward way to correct the angle. Built from CNC-formed steel with robotic welds and a durable black powder coat, it both extends and repositions a standard 2" hitch to deliver a level towing setup without complicated modifications.

How does this adapter create a level towing setup?

Rather than changing the ball mount or altering the trailer tongue, the adapter drops or rises the accessory 4 inches relative to the vehicle's receiver. That vertical shift corrects pin-to-ball alignment and helps prevent uneven weight distribution and sway from improper pitch.

• Provides exactly 4" of drop or 4" of rise for quick alignment adjustments
• Compatible with standard 2" receiver tubes and 2" shank accessories
• Useful for leveling tow bars with vehicle base plates for dinghy towing

Is this strong enough for my trailer or tow vehicle?

This adapter is rated for a gross towed vehicle weight of 7,500 lbs, making it suitable for many midsize trailers, campers and heavy accessories. The rating reflects the adapter's load capacity; always confirm the vehicle hitch, ball mount and trailer tongue capacities match or exceed that limit.

• 7,500 lb gross towed vehicle weight rating for many towing tasks
• Steel construction with precision welding for consistent strength
• Check vehicle and accessory ratings to ensure overall towing safety

How durable is the finish and construction?

CURT uses CNC forming and robotic welding to create tight tolerances and reliable joints, then applies a black powder coat to resist corrosion and surface wear. That combination reduces the risk of chipping, rust and UV damage that can shorten the usable life of a hitch accessory.

• Mechanically descaled welds for clean, consistent joints
• Black powder coat finish protects against rust and abrasion
• Designed for repeated install/removal without rapid finish breakdown

Will this adapter work with my existing hitch accessories?

The adapter accepts standard 2" shanks and inserts into a 2" receiver, so it integrates with most ball mounts, bike racks and towing accessories built to industry dimensions. Use it to raise or lower accessories without changing their shank size or hardware.

• Fits industry-standard 2" receiver and accommodates 2" shank accessories
• Ideal for leveling bike racks, ball mounts and tow bars quickly
• Simple pin-and-clip installation keeps setup fast and repeatable

Who is this for: The CURT 2" receiver hitch adapter is aimed at drivers who tow trailers or use hitch-mounted accessories and need a dependable way to correct height differences without replacing mount hardware. It's a good fit for owners of midsize trailers, dinghy tow setups, and anyone who frequently switches between accessories and needs consistent, level towing performance.
