Expert Reply:

We do not have replacement shanks for Haulmaster cargo carriers, but you could use the Malone Dual Hitch Extender, # MPG544. This adapter fits a 2 inch x 2 inch trailer hitch receiver and it provides a 2 inch x 2 inch receiver with a rise of 7-1/2 inches. Please note, only the bottom receiver on this adapter can be used for towing. The upper receiver should only be used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks or cargo carriers.

Also, it is important to note that using a hitch extender will reduce the hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. If your trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 600 lbs, then it will only have a maximum capacity of 300 lbs with this extender. This is the case with all hitch extenders.
