Hey Aj, I wish there was a work around but Thule is says there is no way to use the Revert bike rack part # TH73VA with a hitch that has less than 1.5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the face of the hitch opening. Would you be open to using a different 4 bike rack without that restriction like the Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU77FR which is a platform bike rack. What kind of bikes do you have?

@Aj Gotcha! Looks like the Yakima HangTight Vertical Bike Rack # Y59GR would work for you. I checked and it does not have the same hitch dimension requirement as the Thule racks have.
