Question:

I have a jeep jk 2018 with a stock spare tire. I do not have a stock hitch. I have a Draw-Tite DT78MR Class III Max-Frame Receiverinch that sticks out a bit more. Will i be able to fold the hollywood rack with my current hitch and spare tire setup?

When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # DT78MR that you have on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK we found that there was a distance of 5-1/2 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear spare. The Hollywood Racks E-Bike Rack part # HLY84FR has a distance of 5 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the rack when folded so it would miss the clearance needed by 1/2 inch.

Now the Swagman Current bike rack part # S64678 on the other hand would clear by about 1/4 of an inch and would be your better option. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
