Question:
I am looking for the swing away hitch adpater. My number one concern is ground clearance. I do not want adapter to be touched into ground when driving steep angle. Which proudct gives the most ground clearance?

Hey Chan, all of the swing away hitch adapters are going to have about the same ground clearance since they all basically have a straight shank without any rise but the best option would be the Yakima BackSwing part # Y02483 as it can be used on other accessories beyond Yakima racks. The other adapters are only designed to be used with a brand specific bike racks.
What kind of rack do you have?
