Yes, if you remove the shank of your T2 917XTR and install the part # 753-3581 in place of it you'll have converted your bike rack to a 2 inch hitch bike rack and it will be much more stable than it was before.

Hello, I'm looking to do the same. I also have a Thule 917XTR that I need to fit on a 2" hitch. Before purchasing this part are there any instructions that can be provided to make sure this is what I need?
