Hi Gregory,
The GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch # HGK819 should only be installed into the receiver tube facing up. The extra height is for clearance to ensure you won't scrape the bottom when going up or down a hill.

Hey Gregory, how did the GearSpace 34 cargo carrier work out when mounted in the upright position? It’d be great to hear if the extra clearance solved your height concern. Your feedback could help others setting up the same carrier.
