Expert Reply:
The best option we have for you to help with raising the rack would be with the Trailer Hitch Adapter part # e93YR. In order to use this you'd need to use the included adapter sleeve with your bike rack to fit the 2" hitch size. There isn't an adapter like this with both 1-1/4" inlet and outlet. Please note, this adapter will reduce your capacity although your current setup would still fall inline with this. The adapter is also going to add some more movement into the rack. That said, it's the only way to reduce the scraping.
