OrangeSLR Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 My 4x4 towbar is 150mm higher than the tow hitch on my trailer for a level load. I've seen somewhere a spacer tha goes between the A frame and tow hitch, any ideas where I can get one as I cant see any reference to it on the BJ website. Or any other ideas anyone??

Paul Deslandes Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 the normal method is to use a drop plate on the tow vehicle. This bolts vertically onto the vehicle hitch bolt holes and has pairs of holes for the ball hitch at different heights to suit the trailer.e.g.https://www.fieldfare.co.uk/maypole-zinc-plated-4-inch-drop-plate.html?source=googlebase&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpvzZBRCbARIsACe8vyL_o5k8SOBlgF1ZBFo27uu2jcszUzPegHJesaj4ZIrxeCa4CP4mTnAaAjyAEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I used a drop plate on my CRV and it works fine. There is a rather large spacer that BJ sells but I guess that's a more expensive option. See photo on last post on this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSLR Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yes that would be easiest but only gives 100mm and I need to drop 150mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSLR Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 I think I need the drop plate and the spacer but can’t find the spacer on sale anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I've always thought the BJ website a bit limited when searching for parts and just call them instead. Always found them very helpful..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
