I have looked at these but need the straight upright stinger that Forest River uses and these have the offset stinger and that puts the rear bike to far back and too close to the front glass on our 2608BS. If you turn it around then the bike hits the bed on turns.
I can not find anybody that sells that straight upright style other than Forest River nor can I find just a straight stinger as a replacement part.

Did you ever locate the straight stinger? I have a 26fkbs/2608 and ran into the same problem with bikes hitting the glass.
Thanks for any help with this. Tim d

No, never did find the correct stinger!
I ended up just hanging the front bike up as high as it would go with the stinger turned away from TT and have just enough clearance so in a tight turn bike tires do not hit truck bed.

Would the bikes sit too low if you simply removed offset stinger. If so another option might be to replace the offset stinger with some angle iron

Good suggestions... I turned the stinger forward and bike tire hit truck on turn. I wrote Lippert because I read a new 2608bs ordered with Jack it rack comes with a straight adapter, not the swept stinger. I will post when I hear back. I may try to eliminate the stinger and drill some new holes to make it work. Thanks
