Aligner to Make Lining Up Bike Rack Shank with Hitch Pin Hole Easier

Question:

Hello. I have a 2017 Subaru forest her with a factory installed trailer hitch. I primarily use it to mount a bike rack. Often the hole in the bike rack does not line up exactly with the hole in the receiver, so putting a receiver lock of large diameter is very difficult. Im looking to get a 3/8 In receiver lock that has a little bit over 2 inch shank. I look through your website but could not find something exactly like that. What do you suggest? Thanks

It's not a great idea to go with a thinner hitch lock but we have the collar hitch aligner part # e98942 which would help you get the exact same alignment everytime so that you can keep using your current hitch lock.
