Hey Jordan. It's not possible to get a 6" rise and use a bike rack with a high/low adapter but I can get you half way there using the Blue Ox Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter item # BLU28XR and the Add-On Receiver item # BLU94TR.

The Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter item # BLU28XR is designed to fit inside a 2" hitch receiver and has a 10,000 lbs capacity. With the included 2" accessory receiver in the highest position your bike rack will be 8" above your motorhome's hitch.

The Add-On Receiver item # BLU94TR can then be installed beneath it for your tow bar. You'll be able to get the second 2" receiver halfway up the Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter item # BLU28XR for a 3" rise on your tow bar.

To be considered level, your tow bar needs to be within 3" of your tow vehicle's baseplates. If a 6" rise gets your tow bar and baseplate lined up then using the Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver item # BLU28XR and the Add-On Receiver item # BLU94TR will get you to level and allow you to mount your bike rack above your tow bar.
