Adapter Recommendation for a Yakima Bike Rack for Use in a Class V Hitch
Question:
Are people buying these pins to use for the larger 2.5inch receivers? My stock pin is too short, so will this one work?

Expert Reply:
Since you have a hitch with a 2-1/2 inch opening you can still use the hitch bolt that came with your Yakima rack designed for 2 inch hitches. You will need to use a hitch reducer for the hitch so that it will have a 2 inch opening. For that I would recommend the part # C45405. You would just need to thread the bolt through the reducer into the rack threads and it would be secured.
The bolt in the # Y8780022 isn't any longer than what you have with your current rack so it would not give you additional length.
