MAXXHAUL 2" Trailer Hitch Riser 6" Rise/Drop for 2" Receivers — Solid Steel, 500 lb Tongue Weight, Triple Pin Adjustment

The MAXXHAUL 50909 Trailer Hitch Riser is a solid‑steel 6" rise/drop adapter for 2" receivers that levels hitch accessories and supports up to 500 lb tongue weight.

If you mount a bike rack, cargo carrier, wheelchair platform or other hitch accessory and it sits too low or too high relative to your vehicle, the MAXXHAUL 50909 riser corrects vertical misalignment quickly and securely. Built from heavy alloy steel with a black powder coat, this height adapter resists rust and abrasion while offering three pin positions to fine‑tune clearance and reduce bumper contact. It’s designed specifically for hitch‑mounted accessories and not for towing trailers.

How does this riser help when my accessory hangs too low?

The 6" rise feature lifts the accessory away from the bumper and ground, preventing scrapes and improving rear clearance. By selecting one of the three pin locations you can dial in the exact shank length needed for optimal fit and balance.

• 6" vertical correction to raise accessory height.
• Triple pin holes let you adjust shank length for bumper clearance.
• Supports up to 500 lb tongue weight for heavy carriers and racks.

Will it work with my 2" hitch receiver and heavier accessories?

The riser is made for standard 2" Class III and IV receivers and accepts common hitch sizes used by most cargo carriers and bike racks. With a 500 lb tongue weight rating it accommodates heavier non‑towing accessories when installed correctly and within vehicle limits.

• Compatible with 2" Class III/IV receivers found on many SUVs and trucks.
• Solid alloy steel construction resists flex under load.
• Includes two 5/8" hitch pins for secure mounting right out of the box.

How durable is the finish and will it resist outdoor wear?

The 50909 features a black powder‑coated finish applied to heavy steel, giving it corrosion resistance and better scratch protection than bare metal. That coating helps preserve appearance and performance over time when exposed to road grime, salt, and weather.

• Black powder coat for enhanced corrosion and abrasion resistance.
• Solid alloy steel body resists bending and impact from normal use.
• Designed for outdoor, all‑season accessory mounting.

How easy is installation and adjustment?

Installation is straightforward: slide the riser into your 2" receiver, select the pin hole that gives desired rise/drop, and secure with the included hitch pins. No special tools are required beyond a wrench to tighten safety clips or fasteners if you choose upgraded locking pins.

• Plug‑and‑play fit for standard 2" receivers—no drilling required.
• Three pin positions speed up fine tuning for optimal clearance.
• Comes with two 5/8" hitch pins so you can install immediately.

Who this is for: The MAXXHAUL 50909 is ideal for vehicle owners who attach larger hitch accessories—like full‑size cargo baskets, multi‑bike racks, and mobility platforms—and need reliable vertical correction or extra ground clearance. It’s well suited to truck and SUV drivers with Class III/IV 2" receivers who want a durable, adjustable solution that installs quickly and withstands outdoor use. Note: this product is intended only for hitch‑mounted accessories and is not rated for towing trailers.
