Hi James!
The RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS w/ Hitch Pin and Lock - 2" Hitches - 8" Long # RKY10011 can indeed be used with the RockyMounts Gigawatt Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY37MR. Just be aware that using an extender like this, even with its anti-rattle locking hitch pin, it will cut the carrying capacity of your hitch in half. With that said, I would not use bikes over 40 pounds when using it to keep everything safe.
What kind of bikes are you wanting to carry? I can double check the weight for you.

Hi James, how did things go using the hitch extender with your Gigawatt bike rack? Were you able to keep your setup within the weight limits? Your update could make it easier for others working with the same combo.
