Can anyone suggest a place to get tow hitch parts for the H2. I have v-nose haulmark trailer that i need to tow, and I am looking for an extension and drop. Locally, I am having an issue finding parts, no parts houses have anything that will accomodate the spare tire on the back. Thanks

You should be able to buy reciever hitches all over (Lowes , etc.) .
I dont have a back mounted tire , is it actually in the way of the hitch area? doug

The tire shouldnt interfere with towing. I tow a 12 foot utility trailer for hauling my quad and i dont have an issue. I use an 8 inch drop hitch. The handle for the tongue jack is sort of close to the tire, but it doesnt interfere with towing at all. I agree, hitch parts can be had at most any autoparts or speed shop.

I bought my drop hitch for my liftkit. The drop comes in 14, 16, or 18".

It's a very clean setup, not bulky like some of the others. If that is something you're looking for, let me know and I'll dig up the receipt.

yeah, the tire interferes with the jack on the trailer tongue. because its a v-nose the jack is far forward.

Had the same problem!....The best thing to do, is have the V-Nose extended 18 inches..(couple hundred Bucks).....Or get a Gobi Rack!

Check out your local U-Haul center.
They usually have a bunch of adapters, extensions etc.

You can get a receiver extension and then use the hitch that you require. I used a Buyers extension and then attached a Pintle Hook for towing.
