While there is not a replacement sleeve adapter for the rack, there is a way to still use it in your 2 inch hitch so you don't have to get a new bike rack. What you can do is use a 2" to 1-1/4" adapter, and it will also need a pin and clip to secure the adapter to your hitch:

It sounds like you need a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter for the trailer hitch receiver that fits a 2020 Chevy Malibu - the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12185.
We do have an adapter available, the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD.
Just keep in mind the adapter is for accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier only, and should not be used for towing. I have added a link below to a video review of the adapter for you to check out as well. view full answer...
We do carry trailer hitch ball mounts that have a rise and fit 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches. I have attached a link to our product page for the 1-1/4 inch ball mounts we offer.
We also carry adapters that will fit a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch, but for any adapters with a rise they are all 1-1/4 to 2 inch adapters. We do not offer any that are 1-1/4 to 1-1/4 inch. view full answer...
You can use the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 to stabilize the 2" bike rack in the adapter and the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125 to stabilize the adapter in the hitch. While using an adapter in a 1.25" hitch to use a 2" bike rack is not a great idea, technically you can do it. What you would need to keep in mind is that using the adapter is going to reduce your hitches weight capacity by 50%. You will need to ensure that your bike rack and bikes do not exceed the weight limit of... view full answer...
The hitch manufacturers and the manufacturers of the adapters tell us that adding an adapter between the receiver and ball mount or the receiver and a hitch mounted accessory not only increases the distance between the load and the receiver, but also introduces another piece to the system which can allow additional bouncing which increases the leverage and shock delivered to the hitch. This could apply more leverage than the hitch or its attachment points to the vehicle are designed to... view full answer...
I have an answer for you. When it comes to using a hitch adapter on your 1-1/4 inch hitch to accommodate a 2-inch accessory, it is important to note that any time you use an adapter/extender, you will be decreasing the overall weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. With that being said, you will have added instability on your vehicle if you use an adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" # HTAD. I recommend making sure that the hitch will be able to hold the weight of the hitch adapter... view full answer...
Thanks for the kind words about the website, and you mentioned 1-1/2" hitch for your CR-V, but I believe you meant 1-1/4" as there isn't actually a 1-1/2" hitch made. And while there isn't a carrier for a 1-1/4" hitch, there is 1-1/4" to 2" hitch adapter so you can use the Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier - 2" Hitch # e98ZR.
What you can do is use the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD.
It's important to note though that the use of any adapter reduces the capacity... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 you have on your 2009 VW Jetta SportWagen is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and 200 lb tongue weight (as are all the hitches for this vehicle). The issue is that when using an adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD it reduces the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. That means your hitch capacity is only 100 lbs, and exceeding that compromises the integrity of the hitch not only because... view full answer...
In order to get more ground clearance with the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs # C18100, the solution is to use a hitch adapter like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 8" Drop/Rise # RM-077-8. Once the Roadmaster adapter is installed in your trailer hitch receiver, you can use the top receiver to attach your Curt Cargo Carrier. It is important to note that your hitch receiver weight capacity will be decreased by 50% when using an adapter.... view full answer...
The attachment point between the fifth wheel king pin and the Ranch Hitch adapter is very tight. Threaded collars attach to the king pin, then the black adapter base threads onto the collars. The upper flange on the black adapter will actually bolt to the underside of the fifth wheel pin box. There will be no movement there.
Any movement or chucking will be experienced at the point where the adapter attaches to the gooseneck ball. The chucking would be about what you would experience with... view full answer...
According to the sticker shown on your hitch, your hitch has a 600 lb tongue weight capacity which would be reduced to 300 lbs. This means that the total weight suspended from your hitch, including the trailer tongue weight and that of any hitch accessory plus anything loaded on it could not exceed 50% of the hitch tongue weight capacity which is 300 lbs in this case.
This being said, you would not want to use a dual hitch adapter with a weight distribution hitch because the adapter isn't... view full answer...
When the adapter is fastened to the shank of your Ridgeline with the # 853-5787-02 screw, the connection between the adapter and your bike rack will be snug. The two parts will not move against each other. The shank of your Ridgeline should be threaded for the Thule hitch pin, part # THSTL2. Once the threaded hitch pin is used, it will draw the shank plus the adapter against the side of the hitch receiver, preventing any movement. view full answer...
I know of the PopUp and Cody brands of gooseneck hitches that use a cable ball release mechanism, and also of adapters from Ranch Hitch that use a cable release, such as their # AM3100 and # AM3139. These adapters are for use when pulling a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch. The cable on these adapters releases the adapter base from the gooseneck ball. view full answer...
Nope; a cushioned gooseneck ball has the same instability properties as a cushioned pin box and should not be used with the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100.
Using this adapter will require a standard gooseneck hitch ball. view full answer...
We may have an option for you, though the High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-076 you referenced has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs and using a bike rack and bikes with a weight that exceeds that is not recommended as it does not have the strength of stability.
Using any hitch adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so please keep that in mind. What may work for you is the Malone Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches # MPG544 which has a maximum... view full answer...
The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 weighs 125 lbs. It will convert your gooseneck hitch into a working fifth wheel hitch and has a towing capacity of 21,000 lbs and features a pivoting head to make hooking your trailer up easier as well as three height settings to ensure you tow your trailer level.

The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD cannot safely be modified to increase the size of the hitch pin hole. All hitch accessories intended for use with 1-1/4-inch hitches use a 1/2-inch pin size. Pins of 5/8-inch are employed for 2-inch and larger hitch receivers.
If you were to drill out the solid shank to enlarge the hole you would be altering the adapter's capacity by some unknown value and this could potentially lead to unsafe conditions. view full answer...
I do have some potential solutions for you, but we are not aware of any kind of adapter that would go from a 2" hitch to a 2-1/2" hitch. An adapter like that would cause a lot of folks to overload their 2" hitches. The 2" hitches are only rated for so much weight. Also keep in mind that the use of a hitch adapter/extender will effectively decrease your tongue weight capacity by half. Using an adapter plus an extension would drastically decrease your towing capacity, and this would not be... view full answer...
Yes, it is true that most types of 5th wheel to gooseneck adapters will cause stresses on the trailer's frame and in some instances may actually void the warranty on the trailer frame. However, there is one type of 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that does NOT place any extra stress on the coach's frame and that will NOT void your frame warranty. That type of adapter is called a Goosebox, made by Reese.
A Goosebox such as # RP85FR is a replacement pin box that bolts on in place of your... view full answer...
One of the gooseneck trailer hitch adapters we offer is part # RP58079. This holds the ball in place with a clip and the ball will spin. We offer two gooseneck trailer hitch adapters from Reese that will allow you to hook your gooseneck trailer up while using fifth wheel rails.
The other adapter is the one you came from, part # 16055 and it has the ball welded in place. If the weld has broken and allows the ball to move, it would be dangerous and you should stop using it immediately.
