I understand what you are looking for and the nearest item we offer is the Brophy Class I-compatible Adapter # HT5R which offers 5-inches of rise. Since this converts the receiver to a 2-inch, which you do NOT want, you could simply add a reducer sleeve # HT02.

This combination will give you a Class I shank to fit your Class I hitch, give you 5-inches of height rise and provide a 1-1/4-inch opening for your hitch-mount accessory.

Do please note that use of any adapter like # HT5R will reduce your Class I hitch capacity from 200-lbs tongue weight down to 100-lbs. Also note that when adapters are used there can be additional motion from the connected accessory so a support strap # 18050 is recommended to help steady the load.
