MaxxHaul 50909 Trailer Hitch Riser: 6 Rise/Drop for 2-Inch Receivers, 500 lb Tongue Weight

Overview

The MaxxHaul 50909 Trailer Hitch Riser is designed for 2-inch hitch receivers and delivers practical height adjustment for your hitch mounted gear. With a 6-inch rise or 6-inch drop option, it helps align bike racks, cargo carriers, and mobility platforms when your vehicle sits unusually high or low. Constructed from solid alloy steel and finished in black powder coating, this riser aims to provide durable support while handling up to 500 lbs of tongue weight. The result is improved alignment and ground clearance for a range of non-towing hitch accessories.

What makes the 50909 stand out

• 6-inch Rise or 6-inch Drop Adjustment – substantial vertical correction for level mounting of accessories.
• Fits Standard 2-inch Receivers – compatible with Class III and IV 2-inch hitch receivers; not for towing trailers.
• Solid Alloy Steel Construction – sturdy, stable support with a durable, rust-resistant finish.
• Triple Hitch Pin Hole Design – three length options to fine tune clearance and reduce bumper contact.
• Optimized for Hitch Mounted Accessories – ideal for bike racks, cargo carriers, and mobility platforms that need alignment.
• Includes Two Hitch Pins – simple, secure installation out of the box; riser weighs 16 lbs.

Real-world applications

Use cases include leveling a cargo carrier on uneven terrain, aligning a bike rack on a taller vehicle, or providing extra clearance for accessories that sit closer to the bumper. The design emphasizes stability and ease of adjustment while staying within its 500 lb tongue weight limit.

Durability, finish, and installation tips

The black powder-coated finish protects against rust and dust, supporting long-term outdoor performance. The three pin hole options let you tailor the shank length to prevent bumper interference and improve fitment. For installation, ensure the riser is centered in the receiver and secure both hitch pins before adding any mounted accessories.

What’s in the box

Two 5/8-inch hitch pins are included for quick setup and steady attachment. Note: this product is for hitch-mounted accessories and is not intended for towing trailers.
