Looking for a Hitch Riser that Fits a 2 Inch x 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver

Question:

I need a hitch riser like the brophy 1and1/4x2inch riser yet I need one that is a 2x2inch riser. Do I need to reduce my 2inch to 1and1/4inch then use the brophy? seems silly but if I can not get a 2inch I do not know what else to do. Thanks for any reply.

The closest adapter that we have to your needs is the Malone Dual Hitch Extender, # MPG544. This adapter fits a 2 inch x 2 inch trailer hitch receiver and it provides a 2 inch x 2 inch receiver with a rise of 7-1/2 inches. Please note, only the bottom receiver on this adapter can be used for towing. The upper receiver should only be used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks or cargo carriers.

Also, it is important to note that using a hitch extender will reduce the hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. If your trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 600 lbs, then it will only have a maximum capacity of 300 lbs with this extender. This is the case with all hitch extenders.
