MAXXHAUL Trailer Hitch Riser for 2" Receivers — 4" Rise/Drop Solid Steel, Dual Pin Holes, 500 lb Capacity

The MAXXHAUL 50908 trailer hitch riser is a solid‑steel adapter that raises or lowers 2" hitch‑mounted accessories by 4" and supports up to 500 lb tongue weight for improved clearance and alignment.

Designed for vehicles with non‑standard ride height or accessories that sit uneven, this riser slides into standard 2" x 2" receivers to change the mounting height without modifying the vehicle. Its heavy alloy‑steel construction and black powder coat resist corrosion while the dual pin‑hole design offers two shank length choices so you can tune fitment and clearance. Note: this product is engineered for hitch‑mounted accessories only and is not rated for towing trailers or couplers.

How does this riser improve clearance and level my accessory?

By adding 4 inches of rise or drop, the riser repositions your bike rack, cargo carrier, or mobility platform to a safer, more functional angle. That extra height reduces scraping on driveways and steep driveways and helps align racks for easier loading.

• 4" vertical adjustment (rise or drop) to correct tilt.
• Helps avoid ground contact on slopes and speed bumps.
• Improves weight distribution of mounted accessories.

What receiver size and shank lengths are compatible?

This riser is made for standard 2" x 2" (Class III/IV) hitch receivers and offers two shank insertion lengths via dual pin holes. Pick the shorter or longer shank position to gain the clearance you need for bumpers, tailgates, and accessory overhang.

• Accepts 2" x 2" hitch receivers only.
• Two pin‑hole positions yield 5‑1/4" or 6‑3/4" shank length options.
• Includes two 5/8" hitch pins for secure installation.

What strength and finish does it provide, and is it for towing?

Constructed from solid alloy steel with a durable black powder finish, the 50908 resists rust and stands up to outdoor conditions while providing stable support for mounted gear. It has a 500 lb tongue weight rating for hitch accessories only; it must not be used for towing trailers or carrying trailer loads.

• Solid alloy‑steel shank for long‑term strength.
• Black powder coat protects against corrosion and wear.
• Rated for 500 lb tongue weight—NOT rated for trailer towing.

Will this fit my vehicle and accessory—what dimensions should I check?

Before ordering, confirm your receiver opening is 2" x 2" and measure bumper and tailgate clearance to ensure the riser and accessory won’t interfere. The riser overall measures 11.4" long by 6.7" high by 3" wide, which helps determine whether the extended accessory will have sufficient space.

• Overall dimensions: 11.4" L x 6.7" H x 3" W.
• Verify bumper, tailgate, and accessory clearances first.
• Confirm accessory tongue weight does not exceed 500 lb rating.

Who this is for: the MAXXHAUL 50908 riser is ideal for drivers who mount bikes, cargo boxes, mobility carriers, or other hitch‑mounted gear and need to correct tilt or increase ground clearance without permanent vehicle changes. It’s a practical option for vehicle owners with lowered or lifted suspensions, anyone frequently navigating steep driveways or uneven terrain, and those who want a rugged, easy‑to‑install solution—provided they use it only with hitch accessories and respect the 500 lb tongue weight limit.
