TOPTOW 64127 2-inch hitch extension riser – 2-inch receiver & 2-inch rise/drop
Need a straightforward, dependable way to gain a bit of extra clearance or get your trailer level? The TOPTOW 64127 hitch extension riser does exactly that. It’s the common 2in x 2in receiver size (50.8mm x 50.8mm), so it takes most ball mounts and hitch accessories without any faff.
Why this makes towing easier
Often the towbar sits tucked under the bumper or the trailer and tow vehicle aren’t level — a proper nuisance that can affect handling and cause extra wear. This extension gives you extra reach and can be flipped to provide a 2in rise or a 2in drop (about 50.8mm), so you can get the trailer sitting level. No faffing with complicated setups: slot it in, choose the pin-hole, pop the pin in and you’re sorted. Two pin-hole positions also mean you can pick one of two effective lengths to clear bumpers, spare tyres or other obstacles.
Built for proper towing
The numbers matter. This unit is rated to a 7,500 lb gross towing weight (≈ 3,402 kg) and a 400 lb tongue weight (≈ 181 kg), so it’s suitable for trailers, boats, small campers, bike racks and cargo carriers within those limits. It’s fabricated from heavy‑duty steel with full welds and finished in a tough black powder coat to resist corrosion — handy when the weather’s rubbish. An anti‑rattle bolt keeps the shank snug in the receiver, reducing movement, noise and uneven wear over time.
Typical uses and scenarios
- Extending a recessed receiver to clear a spare tyre or bumper — gives extra room for ball mounts or carriers.
- Adjusting trailer height so towing is level and safer, particularly when swapping vehicles or changing loads.
- Creating the correct distance for bike racks or cargo carriers that would otherwise hit the tailgate.
- Suitable for towing boats, small campers and utility trailers within the stated capacity.
Installation tips
Fitment couldn’t be simpler: slide the 2in shank into your 2in receiver, align the chosen pin‑hole and secure with the pin and anti‑rattle bolt. If you’re unsure about compatibility with a particular accessory or vehicle, check the receiver size and shank dimensions first. And always confirm the total trailer weight and tongue weight so you stay within the 7,500 lb / 400 lb limits.

Some buyers ask about the exact extension distance — depending on how the shank is set, you’ll gain several inches of extra clearance to help with recessed receivers. If you need precise millimetres for a tight fit, double‑check your vehicle clearances before buying. Overall, it’s a practical, robust bit of kit that removes the guesswork when your hitch needs a bit more reach or a quick height tweak — no more jury‑rigged fixes or faffing about.
