Question:
I am looking for a way to raise my bike rack, I have a 11/4 inch hitch and a 2 inch bike rack, Like to raise it 8-10 inches
asked by: Lutz Y
Expert Reply:
Hey Lutz, 8-10" is quite a big ask. The closest I was able to find is the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R which will go into a 1 1/4" receiver and convert it to a 2" and also give you 5" of rise.
Please note that whenever you use a hitch adapter that your hitch's capacity is cut by 50%.
If there is anything else I can help you with, please feel free to let me know in the comments and I'd be happy to help!
