The picture appears to show a 1.25" sleeve around the shank. Is the sleeve removable and does the shank fit in a 1.25" hitch?

The shaft is 2"X2" and fits a standard 2 inch trailer receiver. They are just showing it mounted to the trailer receiver, (not included)

No, I think the sleeve looking thing in the picture is supposed to represent a hitch. The actual shank is a fixed 2" model that can't be modified.

Yes. It's comes with a converter to a 2" hitch, but the rack itself is built for 1 1/4".

It is for the 1 1/4". And it is an awesome hitch. Easy to put together, and worked perfectly behind my 08 Scion xB.

The 8" drop is confusing. It refers to the length of the shank that goes into your receiver. Even with my F250, the 8" shank was way too long. I contacted Andersen and they exchanged the 8" shank for a 4" shank. I know this hitch is popular among Airstream owners -- check their boards. Also, you can call or email Andersen -- they are quite helpful.

No, this is only compatible with a 2" hitch receiver. Adapters are available, but keep in mind, you would be supporting the beefy 2" by a 1.25" piece and would cause the rack to be cantilevered out even further (a lot of stress on the adapter).

Not sure about the Tahoe (I have a Nissan Frontier), but it fits a 2" receiver and on my vehicle the shank protrudes about 4.5" from the end of the receiver (ie. front edge of the carrier frame is 4.5" back from the end of the receiver). Unless there is a large overhang bumper I would think it would fit most vehicles that have a 2" receiver...

The shank inserts into a 2" receiver found on any full size truck with tow package. FYI ...You will need a ball for the trailer you are pulling. Not included.

This slides into a standard 2" hitch. I am not sure if that is what your asking,

You might need to alter it a bit. Hitch, not hitch vault. For instance, I had to purchase a reducer and have an inch cut off at a machine shop. But nothing major. Hope this helps.

This rack fits a 2 inch square receiver. If you vehicle is equipped with this type receiver it will fit. It will not fit a 2" ball only hitch.

I had to buy the hitch converter to fit my 1" for my Honda. Works well. Bought them together as suggested by Amazon.

The bike rack I received works with 1.25" and 2" hitches. It has an adapter to make it fit the larger 2" receiver. The adapter came installed on the rack. You take the adapter off if you only have 1.25" receiver. I do believe a Class 1 hitch is a 1.25", so if that is correct, you should be fine. Just make sure you have a 1.25" or 2" before you purchase, because if your receiver is not one of those two sizes, it won't work. Hope this helps. Happy riding! P.S. I love this rack. Great value for the dollar and when you screw down the bolt, it keeps everything from swaying and wobbling. Also, make sure you have a 19MM wrench or socket laying around for the anti sway bolt, as you will need it. The bike rack I received works with 1.25" and 2" hitches.

Sleeve hitch is needed to raise & lower it. Without a sleeve hitch, you'd be digging in the dirt all the time.

Hmm ... I don't think so mine is a 2" and it fits just right, I googled it and all I fopund was 2" compatibility http://www.thule.com/en-us/ca/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/hitch-mounted-bike-carriers/thule-vertex-swing-away-9031xt-_-1686826 Technical specifications Fits 1.25" receivers NO Fits 2" receivers YES

5/8". I don't believe they make a 2" hitch with anything less. 1/2" is for your smaller hitches.

Yes. Unit comes with a sleeve which slips over the 1 1/4" shaft for installation in a 2" receiver hitch.

Extending the shank might adversly effect the weight distribution and sway control of the hitch. I would recommend contacting the engineers at Andersen. You are changing factory specs, so better check first
