Product Information
Full details
The MaxxHaul Trailer Hitch Riser 50909 is for vehicle owners needing to adjust the height of their trailer hitch receiver. Its key benefit is providing a 6-inch drop or rise to achieve proper trailer leveling and increase ground clearance for accessories. A caveat is its 500 lbs tongue weight limit, requiring users to check their specific towing needs. This heavy-duty steel riser accommodates vehicles that are too high or too low, featuring a durable black powder coat finish and multiple pin holes for versatile positioning.

Troubleshooting
Riser does not fit hitch receiver.
Ensure your vehicle has a standard 2-inch hitch receiver. Verify no obstructions are inside the receiver or on the riser.
Difficulty inserting hitch pins.
Ensure the pin holes on the riser are perfectly aligned with the pin holes on the hitch receiver. Try gently wiggling the riser or receiver.

Ensure all hitch pins are fully inserted and secured. Consider using a hitch tightener (sold separately) to reduce movement.
