The Maypole MP235 Tow Ball Spacer is designed for vehicle owners who require additional clearance between their towball and the rear bumper to accommodate specific trailer hitches or bike racks. This durable spacer provides exactly 1/2 inch of extra space, effectively preventing accidental contact and cosmetic damage to the vehicle's paintwork during connection. While it offers a simple and reliable solution for towing geometry issues, it is essential to ensure that your existing towbar bolt length remains adequate to maintain a safe and secure connection after installation.

It is designed to fit standard flange-type towballs, but you must ensure your bolt pattern matches the spacer holes.
No, the MP235 is manufactured from aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion.
Stacking spacers is not recommended as it significantly increases leverage on the bolts and can compromise towing safety.
The spacer itself does not change the weight rating of the towbar, but always defer to the towbar manufacturer's maximum capacity limits.
If you notice your trailer coupling or bike rack hardware makes contact with your bumper during installation or turning, you likely need additional clearance.
You must replace your current bolts with longer ones that account for the additional 1/2 inch of the spacer to ensure full nut engagement.
Ensure the towball bolts are torqued to the vehicle or towbar manufacturer's specific settings.
Installation involves removing the existing towball, positioning the spacer between the towball and the mounting plate, and reinstalling the bolts. It is vital to inspect your current hardware; because you are adding 1/2 inch of thickness, ensure that your bolts have sufficient thread engagement into the nuts to meet safety standards. We recommend cleaning the surface of both the mounting plate and the spacer to ensure a flush, metal-to-metal fit. Periodically check the torque of the towball bolts, as vibration during towing can cause fasteners to loosen over time. Always ensure the spacer is centered correctly during installation.
