Dimensions of Yakima BackSwing Swing-Away Hitch Extender

Question:

Hi, Could you tell me how much clearance there is between the top of the 2” extension and the top of the Yakima backswing assembly. I have 140mm 5.5 inches from the top of my 2 inch hitch to the door frame. I would like to be able to open the door when I have the Backswing locked into position without a bike rack. thanks

I went out to our warehouse to measure the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483 and found it was approximately 4-3/4" from the top of the extension to the top of the assembly.

Please keep in mind the BackSwing was not fully assembled when I measured so there may be a slight difference in this dimension when it is fully assembled.
