Hi Steve; the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVD20B swings to the driver's side of the vehicle. This has a capacity of 250 lbs. It is also worth mentioning that the use of any adapter like this will cut the capacity of your hitch by 50%. As long as you don't exceed the reduced capacity of your hitch (make sure you account for the 46 lbs from the Pivot 2) or the capacity of the adapter itself this will work for your setup.
What kind of bike rack do you have?
