There is a way for you to tow your small trailer AND use the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack # TH83JV, although you would not be able to do so by replacing the lower tube on the rack.

Instead, what you can do is use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver # D210. This has a ball mount that fits 2" hitches and has a receiver above it; the receiver is also 2" so it will work with the T2 Pro XTR.

The ball mount can be locked to your current hitch with Hitch Lock # e98880 and for a hitch ball you can use # 19260 for a 1-7/8" ball or # 63845 for a 2" ball.

I believe you are asking if the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 will extend past your bumper enough to use the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack # TH83JV . The ball mount is 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear of the receiver so as long as you have less than that from your Forester's hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of your bumper, you will have enough clearance to use the Curt ball mount.
