Hey Jeff, thanks for reaching out!
The RockyMounts GuideRail # RKY97ZR measures 2-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back end of the shank (see attached photo). I was able to personally measure the bike rack and verify you'll have 1/4" to work with, so this will definitely fit!
What kind of bikes are you carrying?
