  • Is There Play in Lower Hitch Opening of Blue Ox Adjustable High Low Adapter # BLU48CR
    Hey Bob, so the Blue Ox adjustable ball mount part # BLU48CR has tight clearance where the lower hitch opening attaches to the shank but this specific adapter can only be used with flat towing setups and can't carry a bike rack.
