I have great news, you actually don't have to use the stabilizer straps with the Curt hitches like part #C11132 with bike racks like the Thule Helium part #TH9043PRO. They actually changed that requirement a while back so it would not be needed.

Answer 9

Draw Tite does not require the use of a stabilizer strap like part #18050 when used with non-supported loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use the strap with a Draw Tite hitch, but failing to use it…

Answer 10

Since you will be using the trailer hitch for a bike rack, I recommend the Curt hitch #C11356 along with the stabilization strap, #18050, when using the hitch for anything other than a trailer (in this case a bike rack) per Curt's warranty…

Answer 11

Honestly, the best way to prevent scratches or damage to your vehicle's paint is going to get a hitch mounted rack like the Thule Helium #TH44VR and a trailer hitch like the Curt #C11356. We typically recommend a fresh wash and wax before…
