Good morning Tim!
The RV Designer Hitch Pin - 1/2" - Qty 1 # RD83GR measures a little over 3" from the clip hole to the edge of the straight part, just where it starts to bend. So that measurement is the span, and that tells us it'll work for 1-1/4" AND 2" receivers. I'll have the page updated to reflect that info better; thanks for noticing the discrepancy :).
What vehicle is this going on, and do you already have the hitch and wiring necessary for your trailer / accessory?
