How Far Does Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 Extend Above Hitch Receiver

Question:

How far does the tow defender stick up above the top of the hitch receiver? I want to use the dual hitch receiver extender RM-077-4 to mount a bike rack while flat towing.

From the inside top of the trailer hitch receiver to the top of the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 there will be a distance of 2.87 inches to at most 3.62 inches depending on the height adjustment setting you use on the bracket. Basically if you use any of the adjustment holes other than the very top ones on the bracket it's only going to stick up above the receiver by 2.87 inches.

I have attached an image to assist.

With this in mind you will have enough clearance to mount a bike rack above the Tow Defender using the Dual HItch Receiver # RM-077-4 you referenced.
