Custom 3"-2" Riser by ACCURATE!! ? - CaptainGizmo - 05-06-2026

Our new Bronco Raptor posed a bit of a vertical challenge for towing. Since our Newell's hitches are pretty low, by the time you add on 3-2 reducers, risers, etc. you end up with a pretty long and less-than-optimum setup.

So, taking inspiration from another Newell buddy's, I drafted my own version and "Called Sol" at Accurate Trailer in Santa Clarita. I've seen their work down at MCC and knew I was fortunate to be within an hour drive.

This morning, we took the rig and toad to have it finalized. To say these guys did a perfect job wouldn't be enough...they NAILED IT and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. BUT, the biggest delight is I've now got ONE single strong piece which also shortened the overall setup.

           

Incidentally, one CRITICAL MEASUREMENT is to allow clearance for the engine hatch to open! Too high and too close...and you won't be a happy camper.

Hit me up if you'd like a PDF of my plans w/o dimensions to have you own built. Oh, and get this...they did this all for $300! That's about what it costs for a bunch of pieces on Amazon.

Nice, I like the slack adjuster bolt they added.

Yes, nice touch I didn't expect but a nice extra that saves an extra piece! ;-)
