Looking for an Adapter to Fit 1-1/4 Hitch With a Rise and 1-1/4 Inch Receiver

Question:

I have a car that we have a standard 1 1/4 inch hitch on, and would like to put on a lift adapter, but everything I see is 2 inch by 2 inch do you carry anything that is 1 1/4 ? looking for a 1 1/4 inch high/low adapter

We do have adapters that will fit your 1-1/4 hitch on your vehicle, however, the receiving side is 2 inches, such as the Brophy Hitch Adapter with 5 Inch Rise # HT5R.

The issue with using an adapter is that it cuts your tongue weight in half. What I believe you want is a 1-1/4 adapter for your vehicle hitch that has an unknown rise that extends out and will hold your cargo that also has 1-1/4 inch receiver.

If you happen to be looking for a cargo carrier with a rise, check out Curt # C18110. This 20 x 48 carrier is designed for a 1-1/4 inch receiver, is Class I and Class II compatible and has a shank rise of 3-3/4 inches which will help with ground clearance. I have attached a brief video of the carrier.

Unfortunately, we do not have any options that have a 1-1/4 adapter to a 1-1/4 receiver with a rise.
