The Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches, part # Y02483, will work with the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches, part # HR4000.

Please keep in mind that adding any hitch extender/expander will reduce your the maximum tongue weight on your hitch by 50%. The combined weight of the BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks and the weight of the carrier would be 77lbs. This is the amount you would subtract from the maximum tongue weight to determine the total weight of bikes you can carry on your rack.

Your hitch needs to have a measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper that is less than 8 1/2". This is the measurement from the hitch pin hole of the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches to the inside edge of this accessory.
