Need input on hitch receiver bed extenders

I've got a DCSB and I'm looking at the kind of extenders that fit into the hitch receiver. I'm looking for one that will be level with the tops of the wheel wells, not the bottom of the bed, or better yet one that will adjust for both. I know there are adjustable height extenders out there but I'm hoping someone here can verify one that will adjust to those specific heights.

 

This might suit your purpose:

Good one, CT Yankee.

Thule makes one that looks pretty good as well:

This is what I got. I imagine they are all 99% the same. Not sure if it goes to wheel well height, but that would be really easy to mod if not.

Except price tag and sticker on it lol. $250 lol.

 

Ha! I agree with you. That is a lot but you can find them used for around $100. My buddy has one and I have to say that thing is rock solid. So there's that.

But I totally get that $250 is bonkers!

 

Oh, I've got a bunch of Thule crap myself lol. Good, but expensive.

 

I just used mine the other day, there is still a bit of up adjustment but not sure if it would reach the fenderwells, a simple spacer could be added though.

 

Ha! Me too. Mostly buy it on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. People buy it, use it once and then never use it again. The one thing I like about Thule is you can order replacement parts forever so if you lose one nut or one rubber stopper you can get it.

 

I can't tell ... is that the Thule?

 

It is at Menards though.

 

I bought it 3 or 4 years ago and honestly cannot remember, its held up well though.

 

Good use of it though. I need to keep my eye out for one on CL just to have. That is a creative way to get a long bed for certain projects!

 

Indeed it is, I cringe going there because they just release you into the yard without telling you where anything is located.

 

It is well worth the investment if you can find one.

 

I see them frequently. Look at this?

I'm always a little skeptical about HF stuff. I like them for tools with no moving parts, like wrenches, but I've had other stuff break down pretty quickly. But then again sometimes you get something cheap yet reliable. How has your HF extender held up?

I never liked the concept of a hitch-mounted bed extender. I've hauled 10-12' stuff on my cap's rack, and some 8-10' stuff in the bed. Never liked front end bobble effect with a load centered at or behind the rear axle. When I bought my first lawn tractor I picked up a reasonably priced landscape trailer. With the ramp on I can haul 12' lumber, and if I remove the ramp I can haul 16' lumber. It's a lot more comfortable going down the road with the trailer. Plus with my newer trailer I can tow my 2,000 lb Kubota BX wherever I need to.

 

I’m extremely skeptical about HF stuff and usually only get things like furniture blankets, moving dollies, and tools I only need to use once there.

I haven’t had any issues with the bed extender, but it’s just a couple of lengths of steel square tubing welded together. Not much to go wrong.
