Question:

I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty. I purchase this exact dual extender from Wal-Mart to tow my pop-up camper and hitch mounted bike rack. This Reese doesnt clear the rear mounted spare tire and therefore cannot be used. Is there a longer dual hitch extender anywhere I can use so that I dont have remove the spare? I cant seem to find one at all. Thanks!

Towing a trailer and carrying a bike rack is possible but sometimes it can be a bit difficult.

The best ball mount option is the part # D210 which gives you a ball mount platform and then a hitch opening above it for the bike rack.

A slightly difference approach is the part # CC-275 which installs on the frame of the trailer and gives you a hitch opening to mount a bike rack.
