All outside lift models require the vehicle have a hitch installed. The compatible hitch class is stated on the product detail page for each lift.

All outside lifts will work with either a Class II or Class III hitch, although you may require a hitch adaptor on certain models. You can select the appropriate hitch adaptor during the product customization process.

Spinlife also carries three lift models that will work with a Class I hitch.

Measure the width and height of your hitch receiver. The most common dimensions are:

• 1.25 x 1.25 inch (Class I & II*)
• 2 x 2 inch (Class III)

The hitch class should also be marked somewhere on your hitch.

* Class I and II hitch receivers have the same dimensions but are NOT interchangeable. Class I hitches have a lower weight capacity and more shallow receiver, incompatible with longer Class II shanks.

Need a hitch for an outside lift but not sure which hitch will work on your car? We recommend you use U-Haul's handy hitch selection tool to find the hitch options available for your vehicle.
