Re: Flat Towing small vehicle
Yes I talked to blue ox about raising the base plate connectors up 4 or 5" said they had no viable engineering plan to make that happen. ?? I've read a few blogs that said designed the lift themselve and had a local welder raise the arms up. ?? Again, just want to be safe.376Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flat Towing small vehicle
Yes, I've found numerous 12" drops as well, but they only with those types with the ball not the receiver, that my tow bar comes with. Don't really want to use any drop over 6" due to probable grounding out events that damage the hitch, towbar, my toad, and RV. Blue ox said that I'd be ok up to a 4" difference, just drive slow and very cauiously. Safety, gotta get there, right? Curt379Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flat Towing small vehicle
Thanks Bob, yes I'm very concerned about the low clearance, I used to bottom out on occasion with my class C, seems like my only safe approach would be to get a larger tow vehicle that would not require the low drop. Thanks much for your thoughtful response. Curt56Views0likes0CommentsFlat Towing small vehicle
Has anyone ever welded a 2" drop receiver to a 10" drop receiver to make one solid 12" drop. My tow vehicle is still 4.5 inches below the so called safe zone of 3 inches. The OEM, says never to use two or more hitch connections. I've seen the 12" drops with a ball vice the receiver, but to make that work, I'd have to purchase a tow bar that connects to the drops w/ball connection. My vehicle base plate arm connectors measures 12.1" off the ground the MH hitch measures 26" off the ground, so I need a at least a 12 to 13" drop to bring my tow bar with the safe zone. Any ideas? Thanks Curt4.6KViews0likes19Comments
