Instead of adding extra extension length to your hitch setup (which can ruin your ground clearance and increase rack bounce), this sleeve wraps around the existing shank to seamlessly bulk it up to a 2\" profile. It ships complete with the necessary mounting hardware and an Allen tool, turning your 1-1\/4\" rack into a native 2\" unit in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCrucial Spec \u0026amp; Compatibility Corrections:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial Premium:\u003c\/b\u003e It is crafted from lightweight, high-strength \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"64\"\u003emolded aluminum\u003c\/b\u003e rather than heavy steel.

Generic extensions act like a lever, moving your rack further away from your bumper and putting massive strain on your hitch tongue. The D101 keeps your rack tucked tight against your car just like a factory 2\" model would. Just make sure you aren't trying to mount it to an old-school V1 Kuat NV, and you're golden!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Kuat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50493684744415,"sku":"D101","price":35.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/5452\/3103\/files\/750420-01_1.jpg?v=1782574709","url":"https:\/\/alegrocycles.com\/products\/kuat-1-1-4-to-2-adaptor","provider":"Alegro Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
