I'm in the same boat, I have the new 1.25" style bike rack option from Oliver but want to convert it to 2" because all the other hitches on our vehicles are 2" and we already own an expensive 2" rack. I do not want to use a converter because of the wobble and increased load due to the longer arm (moment of force). I was told by Oliver when we picked up the trailer the reason they did not use a 2" receiver is because they don't want anyone trying to tow with it (most folks with hitch racks have 2" racks and we promise not to be stupid). I considered asking the factory to fabricate a 2" receiver for me (not sure if they will). I also considered buying a 2" receiver tube and bolting it on as has been described here. That lead me to etrailer.com and discovered they sell a number of 2" receivers for RV 4x4 bumpers. My Ollie is in storage so I can't easily check the dimensions of the cross bar the 1.25 receiver is bolted to. I'm hoping it's 4x4, does anyone know offhand? Any other thoughts or suggestions?
