It's like having an extended 2" tube to fit a bike rack that uses 2" fitting. **Q: Can you use a locking mechanism on this extension to prvent theft?** A: Yes, you can use the Heininger 6001 Advantage SportsRack 2" Threaded Receiver Trailer Hitch Lock available for purchase at: http://amzn.to/2zp36nu **Q: Is a specific hitch cover made for this extender? Std covers have hole 2 1/2" from end. This has hole 2" from end.** A: My Curt 2” receiver works perfectly fine with this. I use this extension for my bike rack on my jeep. Works great to clear the rack beyond the spare tire on the back. Been using it for about a year and a half and still holding strong! Definitely recommend! **Q: Can you tell me the distance to the center of the first receiver hole from the back edge? Looks like it might be 1 inch to maybe 1 1/2 inches. Thank** A: Larry I want to make sure I give you the measurement that your are asking about. I measured from the edge of the extension that would insert into the receiver on the vehicle and it is 1 inch to the center of the first hole and 3.5 inches to center of the second hole. Let me know if this is not the measurement you need. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars New vehicle needs an extension for trailer hitch *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024* This hitch extension was recommended by our local bike shop and seems very solid. The product extends my hitch enough for my Yakima bike rack to fit beyond the rear mounted spare tire. However my swing rear door will not open all the way even with the rack cantilevered down due to the spare. Although a longer extension may work it might be a bit more unstable that far from the back. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Bicycle Racks *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2018* I have over sized tires on my Jeep Wrangler so when I tried to use my Thule hitch rack, I was unable to release it to get into the back. The rack actually hit the tire and I was unable to move it out of the way. This product solved that problem. It is heavy duty--much heavier than I expected. I installed it in my hitch using the the second hole so I had to move the anti-wobble piece with a chisel and a rubber mallet. I purchased the Heninger 6001 Advantage SportsRack Threaded Hitch Lock so that the hitch extension could not be stolen. This is also a great product. I had to put a light grease on the bolt and it went in easily. I also had to put some light grease on the bike rack so it slid into the hitch extension easily. I'm using the outer most hole for the bike rack which gives me about 8.5" of extension. The product is made well and it does not wobble thanks to the anti-wobble piece. I highly recommend this product to extend the hitch for use with bicycle racks. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Nice product but does not appear to be adjustable as per the description *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2012* We bought this product, because the description stated "Heininger Advantage Hitch Extensions are designed to extend the receiver hitch up to 11 inches". We found that when the bike rack was attached the extender could only be fixed at the full extension length of 11 inches for the holes to match up. Not a huge problem, but if you are looking for flexibility you might find this item not as flexible as you hoped, given the description and the drawing showing measurements in the Amazon description. This is the only reason we gave 4 stars not 5 stars.Otherwise, it does a fine job of extending the hitch for our bike rack. We like the no wobble gizmo included, the extender fits very firmly into the vehicle hitch.We have a 2 inch hitch so have to use the adapter provided with our bike rack, there was no wobble directly to our own hitch, but with this extender there is a little side to side wobble between the bike rack and the extender.The welds are tidy and there was no missing paint or scratches on the one we received. It is packaged in its own box, then double boxed for shipping.As others have stated, this hitch should NOT be used for towing, but is an excellent choice for extending your hitch out to miss your spare tire. We have aΒ  Swagman XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 and 2-Inch Receiver) Β which in our opinion is an excellent rack to carry two bicycles on the back of a vehicle, both the bicycle wheels sit in wells on the platform and are also fixed with rubber straps. There is also a push button ratchet arm for the frame and the bicycles appear very stable. Be careful the ratchet arm does not pinch any cables on the frame when tightening it down. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1481553-heininger-6000-advantage-adjustable-11-inch-hitch-extension](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1481553-heininger-6000-advantage-adjustable-11-inch-hitch-extension) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
