I would definitely go in a different direction to use your bike rack with a 2 inch shank in your 3 inch receiver. There's a simple solution which is just to use a 3 inch to 2 inch adapter sleeve and then a 2 inch hitch extender and you're set. So the best option is going to be the following:
- Trailer Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # e33YR
- Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # e88YR
Just put the sleeves in to turn your 3 inch hitch into a 2 inch hitch and then insert the extender and you're set. To secure the extender inside the sleeve use the Hitch Lock for 2", 2-1/2", and 3" Hitches # FA86-00-3160.
