Question:
I was thinking about getting a Draw Bar mounted Towing bike rack. From what I understand the need a longer draw bar. I looked for one on your website but did not see one. Do you carry a longer drawbar?

We do carry longer ball mounts so that you can use the Ball Mount Bike Racks like the Curt Clamp-On 3 # C18013. For example the Ball Mount part # BM20 has a distance of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole.
If you need a ball mount with a drop of 2 inches this ball mount would work great for you. If you are unsure how much drop you need check out the help article I attached.
I also attached a link to a page that has all of the longer ball mounts we carry for you to check out once you know what rise/drop ball mount you need.

So what I am understanding is if you are pulling a pop up and you want to use the Curt clamp-on bike rack, it is best to also purchase an extra long shank so that there is room between the rear of the car and the pop up for the bikes. Please confirm that this extra long shank won't interfere with the towing ability of the Subaru Outback.
