The closest thing we have to an all in one reducer and hitch extender is the # e53YR you looked at which is too short. To get an 11" extension you can use a reducer sleeve like the # e26YR and then add an extender on top of it. If this is just for a bike rack you could use the # HE6000 which is adjustable out to 11". If you plan on using this for towing, the closest size would be the # e28YR which is a 13-13/16" extension. Keep in mind, the use of any extender will reduce your hitch capacity by 50%.

As the Buyers Products Plain Receiver Tube 2-1/2" I.D. x 12" Long #337RT255812 is a fabrication part, the tongue weight capacity will depend on the other parts used and what it will be installed on. Due to this, it does not carry a specific…
