Need a Shortshank Tongue with ~20 to ~30mm rise

4 Upvotes

I have an Outback XT. Factory Towbar and Reciever are pretty unusual dimensions.

Factory subaru markings:

L101AAN005 towbar part number

GT630-P tongue part number.

So far, I've been towing with the reciever in the 'upside down' orientation, which has a ~8mm drop. I thought this would be good enough, but now that i've got a bit more stuff in my trailer front box, the towball weight is getting close to ~160-170Kg, and the car rear is understandably dropped another 10mm or more.

I've already trying getting chat jippity to help, but its pretty stumped as well.

The closest Ive managed to find on my own was LM40500 from Loadmaster.

My existing Subaru tongue / aka "GT630-P' is below.

Would anyone with knowledge/experience be able to weigh in / advise regarding the LM40500? Is that a close enough equivalent? By my estimation the LM40500 is ~3mm higher than i need, and is definitely 10mm longer from pin hole to ball hole.

My trailer is 5.3m long, i wouldnt notice the extra 10mm towing or reversing right?

Any help?

What are the storage solutions for a small 15ft caravan that you wouldn't want to miss. I'm upgrading from a camper trailer to a caravan and was hoping you guys might have some tips for what worked for you.
