- Recommendation for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch to a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Adapter
- To go from a 1-1/4 receiver to a 2 inch opening, you will need an adapter like the 80304 (for Class II hitches only) like you have referenced or the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, # HTAD (for Class I or II trailer hitches). I have included a video review of this adapter below.
However, the use of an adapter will reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. Make sure you know the tongue weight capacity of your hitch, divide by 2, and do not go ove

- Availability of Class III Hitch for 2009 or 2010 Chevy HHR for Mounting a Bike Rack
- A class I is the only receiver available for the 2009 or 2010 HHR.
The frame attachment points on the HHR are not strong enough to withstand the increased tongue weight capacity that a Class III hitch can handle, therefore the manufacturers do not offer them.
Mounting the bikes to the roof of the vehicle would be your only option, although getting those heavy bikes up there will not be easy. If your HHR has the factory rack with the crossbars, I would recommend the Thule Prolouge, part # T

- In order to determine how much distance you would need to be able to fit a folding bike or cargo rack on the back of your Wrangler you would need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your receiver hitch to the furthest point of your spare tire. That distance would be how much distance you would need for clearance to install a folding bike or cargo rack on your 1995 Jeep Wrangler.
If you email me back with that measurement I could come up with a folding bike rack or

- Availability Of An Anti-Rattle Device for Use With A 1-1/4 Inch To 2 Inch Hitch Expander
- I would recommend the CURT Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit # F-315. This anti-rattle bracket works on a 1-1/4 inch hitch and when tightened down helps to eliminate the noise and vibration of a hitch accessory inside the trailer hitch.
I do not have a hitch expander that has a hollow shank that will fit in a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
Also, remember when using a hitch expander it will reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.

- A 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Adapter Will Not Fit on a Class I Trailer Hitch
- A Class I trailer hitch has a little tab pressed into the receiver behind the hitch pin hole. This is so that an accessory designed for a Class II hitch cannot be installed. The reason for this is safety. A Class I hitch can easily be overloaded and the tab prevents items that should not be used from being used. I have included a link to an FAQ article on the hitch Classes for you.
A Class I trailer hitch can only carry 2 bikes maximum. The reason for this is the hitch is not designed to hand
