Expert Reply:
For your 1998 Ford Explorer we have the Curt hitch part # 13540 as a fit that is compatible with the design of the rear of your vehicle that you mentioned and unlike other hitch options allows you to keep the full size spare underneath it as well.
This would work great with a bike rack like our Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.
