Hey Robert, yes you can use the Benton LittleShift # B54VR with a 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch adapter like the part # e43YR. It's worth mentioning that using an adapter like this cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.
If you don't have a hitch already the Draw Tite part # 36652 would be a great option that is mostly hidden once installed.
