Hey Brian, thanks for the pictures. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar item # e38FV is not going to fit your Ascent's factory hitch. It's going to be a tight fit if you can even mount it with the chain hangers so close but the main issue is the side mounting pieces will block your hitch pin holes.
Are you planning on using the anti-rattle for a ball mount when towing or accessory like a bike rack? The Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers item # GY88XR would definitely work and be a great option for both.

Hey Brian, did you decide to go with the Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for your Ascent? I'm asking because it could help others in a similar situation with their towing setup.
