The angle at which it is welded is an unavoidable issue. Obviously, the designer overlooked the slop that comes with sliding one tube into another. The tube can now angle down in the back due to the slop. When you slide this tube into your receiver hitch, it angles down slightly, and then you slide your secondary tube into the drop down receiver, which angles down as well. As a result, the back of my scooter is 4" lower than the front. It isn't just the scooter's weight that is weighing down the back of the car. Before welding, the designer should have taken this into account and allowed for sag.
With a two-inch drop and a short overall extension, this is a nice two-inch drop. Very good quality. I needed a 2 inch drop with the shortest possible extension past my receiver hitch.

It was pricey, but it was well worth it in my case. The male end is made of solid steel, while the female end is hollow.
This is a very sturdy drop hitch. If the gussets had been properly designed, I would have given it five stars. In welding class, I was taught that the gusset should be a right angle triangle, providing complete contact with the horizontal and vertical members of the items to be welded; I'm not sure why the engineers set it up that way- It's possible that less steel will be used in the manufacturing process. I am pleased with my application.

Well, a hitch either works or doesn't, and since my car hasn't vanished from behind, I'm guessing it does.
Exceptionally well-made heavy-duty usage To flat tow a jeep behind our MH, we used to step up the coupler location.
This served as an extension to my front-mounted hitch, allowing me to use a Thule Goalpost to carry kayaks over the front bumper. The truck in question is a 2017 GMC Sierra 3500. br>It's a heavy, well-made piece. piece that was created.
It's ideal because it gives me more space while still allowing me to see my license plate when my luggage is on the rack. Despite the fact that the photo appears to be identical, the one I received is stamped "curt" rather than "meyer. ".
