Question:

Hello, I saw in a previous question and answer session on your website where it was stated that the Hollywood Destination 2 would fit a 2019 Wrangler JLU and fold up with the spare. I currently have a 33inch spare on the vehicle and was wondering if a hitch extender would be needed to actually transport the bikes as I am measuring about 9 3/4inch from the center hole of my hitch to the outside edge of my spare. If so, any recommendations on an extender with a anti rattle hitch pin would be appreciated. Thank you,

Expert Reply:

I have a better solution for a Hollywood Racks bike rack than the Destination # HLY94FR that will clear your rear spare but this rack would not clear past your rear spare without an extension and extensions reduce weight capacity and add quite a bit of movement so they aren't ideal.

The Trail Rider # HR200Z has 12-1/8 inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the rack so it would fit and clear easily without an adapter. This rack is also the best value around for a platform rack. It's price is decent but in terms of build quality and stability in the hitch it rivals racks that are way more expensive.
