Baz, Go to the back of the class,, No tongue type with hayman reece hitch. So that theory is out.

It's possible to get lower height by disassembling the hitch and turning the main part upside down. Then reassemble.

Lynnie,
Done that and it still seems a little high.I am only talking 20-40mm. So as I have said "van in garage". Will have to extract same and hook on and see what happens. There are a lot of cars and wagons out there with hayman hitches so there is something obvious I am missing. Maybe you can buy the adjustable ball part that fits onto the car.

Have you taken into account the likelyhood the Back of the Vehicle will drop slightly when you hook the Van up.

I seriously doubt it won't move when you have it fully loaded.

There are adjustable heavy duty hitches, it's the tongue welded to a plate, and a plate welded to the box section, the 2 are bolted together and you choose your height.

If you go to

www.haymanreese.com.au
then select Weight Distribution from the menu
and scroll down to a printable version of the fitting instructions.

If not I would seek the help of someone that sells and fits the hitches. They can be quite difficult if you haven't seen it done before as it involves measuring the height of the tow vehicle at the front and rear as well as the van and adjusting accordingly. You need to know at what stage do you adjust the height of the tow ball and when you have to adjust using the torsion bars and chains. It is rocket science if you haven't done it before.

You cannot fit this hitch without the item you are towing attached!
