The closest option we have available to what you are needing is the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-8. This adapter features dual 2 inch receivers and has either an 8 inch rise or 8 inch drop for the bottom receiver. It has a 10,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 400 pound tongue weight limit.
