[ampl][/ampl]What is your receiver hitch rated at and what size (2" or 2.5"). If you have a 15,000 lb or heavier and a 2.5" receiver I think you could have an insert custom made and be well within the load limits, especially with some angle reinforcement brackets for added strength on the insert. If you have one of the lighter rated receivers then I think the leverage/torque caused by the vertical extension could be risky.
