Very solid and well built. Helps from swaying and makes it harder to steal.

The extender allowed me to use the rack with my Ram truck. Now I can lower the tailgate when the rack is upright. Great product!
Bryan F. –
Solid addition to the rack but only had some ugly silver splatter painted one. Looking for alternative swing mount to buy or build.

Super happy with our alta rack and the service we’ve received from Ali. Highly recommend this rack for anyone looking for the sturdiest, easiest-to-use taxi on the market!

The extender for our Alta Six is the complete solution. Full rear door access for our 2019 Sprinter van. The build is durable, matching the sexy look of the entire Alta Six!

Super fast shipping and item is very solidly made. Best hitch rack extender/riser I’ve ever used!

Used this on a sprinter van so that I can have full access to the back when the rack is dropped down. Worked like a charm!

Heavy duty!

Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I can’t open both doors on my 2019 low roof Ford transit . Right door opens with an inch or less of clearance but left door does not open . Website states that tow hitch should be flush with bumper but that is not possible on Ford transit unless you weld tow hitch on . The bolt on hitch does not sit flush and is recessed which is causing the issue of door not fully opening .

Easy to work with and great product!

Worked just as intended with the Alta 5 to allow the tailgate on my 2020 Ram to lower all the way with the rack in place!

Exactly what I needed for my 2022 Ford F-150 to clear my fully opened tailgate, and camper shell swing up door. Cheers.

Not as advertised. It does not come with the external hitch stabilizer to interface with vehicle receiver. The pics and description include this part but it is not included with the extension. Per Ali, I could buy one from him or get one from Amazon. I will not be spending any more money with Ali.

Thanks for your review, The extender is designed and build for our racks which come with an external stabilizer, Since the rack to extender interface does not require the external, that part is used on the extender. You purchased our extender and do not own one of our racks. We updated to page more clearly to clearly state that its for our racks. We were trying to be helpful and make sure even though you don’t own of our racks to show you what options are available to you. Happy riding.
