How To Adapt Yakima OnRamp LX With 1-1/4" Shank To A 2" Hitch
Updated 08/05/2026 | Published 07/24/2026
Question:
I have a Yakima OnRamp LX with a 1.25 shank SKU 8002757. I bought a new vehicle that has a 2 hitch receiver. Is there a way I can use the rack with my new vehicle? You stock a replacement hitch shank assembly Part Number Y99TR for the Yakima OnRamp SKU 8002706, which was a previous version of the OnRamp LX SKU 8002757. Does this also work with the OnRamp LX? Is it the same thing as the replacement hitch shank assembly on Yakimas website SKU 8881650? Also, if Y99TR works, will I need a different hitch bolt than I used on the 1.25 shank?

Hey Nelson, welcome back. Yes! We have just the thing. To use your Yakima OnRamp LX with the 1-1/4" shank with a 2" hitch you will need the following:
- Replacement 2" Shank for Yakima OnRamp LX Bike Racks # Y89GC
This will replace the shank that came with your rack and allow it to fit the 2" hitch on you new vehicle. This is one and the same as the Yakima part 8881650 you mentioned. The 2" shank from the old OnRamp does not work with the OnRamp LX.
What kind of bikes do you haul?

Thanks. Also, when going from a 1.25" shank to a 2" shank, one will need a 5/8-inch diameter threaded bolt (Yakima SKU: #8881761). With the Yakima On Ramp LX, I haul everything from my lightweight road bike to a couple of heavy e-bikes.
