Sulythw 2-Inch Receiver Hitch Extender — 6-1/4" Extension, 5,000 lb GTW, Black Powder Coat

The Sulythw 2-inch receiver hitch extender adds 6-1/4 inches of clearance to a standard 2" trailer hitch receiver, supporting up to 5,000 lbs GTW and designed primarily to extend bike racks and cargo carriers.

When your vehicle’s bumper or spare tire interferes with a rack or carrier, this solid steel extender creates needed distance while preserving a standard 2" x 2" shank interface. Built from heavy welded steel and finished with a black powder coat for corrosion resistance, the unit is sized for common hitch accessories and tested to U.S. specifications to handle everyday loads for non-towing applications.

How much additional clearance does the extender provide?

The extender increases the distance from the receiver’s pin hole to the accessory’s pin hole by 6-1/4 inches, giving extra room between the vehicle and your rack or carrier. That extra length can prevent contact with bumpers, sensors, or rear doors.

• Extension length: 6-1/4 inches (pin-hole to pin-hole)
• Designed for bike racks and cargo carriers needing extra clearance
• Helps avoid bumper and door interference

What loads and uses is this extender rated for?

The Sulythw extender is rated to carry a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs, as tested to U.S. standards. It is intended for extending accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers — not for towing trailers.

• Maximum GTW: 5,000 lbs
• Maximum TW: 500 lbs
• Not certified for trailer towing — use only with racks/carriers

Which hitches and accessories will fit this adapter?

This adapter slides into any industry-standard 2" receiver and accepts accessories with a 2" x 2" shank. That makes it compatible with most common bike racks, cargo platforms, and ball mount shanks sized to the same industry standard.

• Fits any standard 2" trailer hitch receiver
• Accepts 2" x 2" shank accessories (bike racks, carriers)
• Check accessory pin-hole spacing and weight limits before use

What materials and maintenance help it last?

The extender is constructed from heavy-duty welded steel and finished in a black powder coat that resists rust and everyday wear. For the best long-term fit and to reduce rattle, use a hitch tightener and routinely inspect fasteners and the protective finish.

• Heavy welded steel tube construction for durability
• Black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance
• Recommend hitch tighteners to minimize movement and noise

Who is this for: The Sulythw 2-inch receiver hitch extender is aimed at drivers who need extra rear clearance for bike racks, cargo carriers, or accessory mounting without altering their existing hitch. It suits owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans who want a sturdy, industry-standard extension rated to U.S. specifications for accessory loads, and who understand this product is for extension purposes—not for towing trailers.
