Question:
What is the length of this shank? Also, what is the thickness of the metal 1/8inch or 3/16? Im simply looking for 2inch receiver shank that is approximately 16inch long. I plan to weld a thule bike rack platform onto the shank. Im looking at this part, as well as the Swagman P249 shank which is 19inch long.

I spoke with Swagman and they let me know that the Replacement Shank for Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack # SP329 measures 14" overall and is made from 1/4" steel.
Since you're looking for a bit longer receiver bar, I recommend going with the Replacement Shank for Swagman Dispatch, E-Spec, Escapee, Semi 4.0, and Quad 2+2 Bike Racks # SP474 instead. This bar has an overall length of 18", is also made from 1/4" thick steel, and will work 2"x2" hitch receivers.
