Question:
I bought the Stealth Hitch SH24VR with 2inch receiver for my car, but the new bike carrier from Aventon doesnt fit into the receiver, its about 1.5inch too long so the holes for the cross bolt dont align. Is there a longer receiver available for the type of hitch I have that could accommodate a longer bike carrier?

That's a bummer, we might have a solution with the Curt hitch extender part # C45791 as long as your hitch tube has at least 4-1/2 inches from it's pin hole center to back of the tube. Otherwise you'd have to look into a different bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202.
