Maybe.....but my curt hitch sits so low anyhow and any additional weight extending off an extra foot would probably still scrape the hitch, if not the actual carrier. It really needs more height from the suspension. If you have any additional weight in the back of the van as passengers or cargo and another 200 plus pounds sticking out further, the hitch extension will probably drag on any road dips, speed bumps etc.......the carrier may not due to the rise.
