MAXXHAUL 2" Trailer Hitch Riser — 6" Rise/Drop, 500 lb Tongue Weight, Black Powder Coat

The MaxxHaul 50650 is a heavy-duty hitch riser that fits 2" receivers and gives a 6" rise or drop while supporting up to 500 lb tongue weight.

If your trailer accessories, bike rack or cargo carrier sit too close to the ground or rub the bumper, a hitch riser like the MaxxHaul 50650 repositions the attachment point so equipment clears the vehicle. Built from solid steel and finished in a black powder coat, this riser is made to resist road grime and rust while keeping a secure connection between your receiver and hitch-mounted gear. Note: this product is not intended for towing a trailer.

How does the MaxxHaul 50650 change ground clearance?

The 50650 provides a 6" vertical adjustment that raises or lowers the hitch-mount by six inches, giving extra space for low-mounted carriers or to level a rack with a vehicle's cargo height. This simple change helps avoid scraping and improves usable clearance behind the vehicle.

• 6" rise/drop moves accessories farther from bumpers and pavement
• Fits standard 2" receiver openings for broad compatibility
• Useful for leveling loads when vehicle height differs from trailer

Will this riser hold my cargo rack or bike carrier securely?

Yes — the riser is rated for a 500 lb tongue weight, meaning it supports heavy hitch-mounted accessories when used within that limit. Its heavy-gauge steel construction and powder coat finish add stiffness and corrosion resistance to maintain a reliable connection when loaded.

• 500 lb tongue weight capacity for racks and carriers
• Thick steel tubing resists bending under load
• Powder coat finish protects against rust and road abrasion

How does the riser attach and prevent bumper contact?

The riser slides into a 2" receiver and secures with standard hitch pins. It includes three pin-hole positions so you can adjust lateral placement and avoid unwanted contact with the rear bumper or bodywork while keeping the shank firmly anchored.

• Accepts standard hitch pin (not included) for fast installation
• Three pin holes let you fine-tune placement to clear bumpers
• Square shank matches 2" receiver standards for a snug fit

Is the MaxxHaul 50650 durable for regular road use?

Designed for frequent use, the riser’s heavy-duty steel build and black powder coating withstand road salt, mud and chips that typically wear down unprotected metal. The coating and robust construction help keep the riser functional and looking clean across seasons.

• Heavy-duty steel core for long-term strength
• Protective black powder coat resists corrosion and scratching
• Clean lines and simple design make maintenance easy

Who is this for: The MaxxHaul 50650 is ideal for drivers who use hitch-mounted carriers, bike racks or cargo platforms and need extra vertical clearance or a way to level their load. It’s a practical accessory for SUV, truck or crossover owners who require a sturdy, corrosion-resistant riser for everyday hauling tasks — provided you won’t be towing a trailer with it.
