See “How to measure your hitch size diagram” diagram below.
Hitch Tube Length:
The hitch tube is the horizontal tube that extends from your hitch receiver. The standard length will be suitable for most styleside pickups and SUVs. However, you’ll need a longer hitch tube if you have a:
- Spare tire mounted on the rear door
- Rear door with jerry can holders
- Other accessories that obstruct the standard bar
We have a new “Hitch Extender” out that gives 6″ or 9″ extra length as well as 2″ lift or drop, depending on how you install it.
This lets you have the standard hitch tube length but add the extension on the vehilces that need it with a rock solid no movement connection in 2 minutes.
Note that extra 10″, 12″, 14″ are also available ex Australia with a 7-10 day delivery POA.

- 58″ Ramp: Ideal for vehicles with a moderate lift kit (2-4 inches) or if the hitch is over 22″ off the ground
