How Can I Carry a Bike Rack with a 1-1/4 Inch Shank In a 2 Inch Receiver
Question:
Hello, Do you know if there is something like this with a 1.25 receiver instead of a 2in? My bike rack is a 1.25 for my car so I have to use an adapter when I take my SUV.

I have a solution for you, but because of the much lower tongue weights of 1-1/4" receivers, there won't be a ball mount with receiver up top like the Curt # D210 available. If you just need to reduce your 2" receiver on your 2008 Toyota Highlander to accommodate your bike rack with a 1-1/4" shank you can use the hitch reducer sleeve # HT02. This sleeve installs inside your 2" hitch to allow you to safely carry your bike rack and will work well for you.
