Expert Reply:
The Replacement 1-1/4" and 2" Shank for Swagman XTC-2 Series Bike Carriers, part # P316, that you referenced is the only shank available for the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack, part # S64670. There is not a straight shank for this bike rack.
The shanks on bike racks have rises to ensure that proper clearance is present. Without it, you run the risk of hitting the ground when there are dips in the road.
