Will Hollywood SE Bike Rack Work on 2015 Jeep Wrangler With etrailer Hitch # e98856  

Question:

I have a 2015 Jeep wrangler with the etrailer E98856 hitch installed. I also have the Hollywood SE2 bike rack to carry two E-bikes. Will the bike rack fit past the spare tire or do I need to buy an extension. If one is required, please recommend what length is needed. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

You reported that the measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furtherest back point on your rear mounted spare you was 8". The Hollywood SE # HLY84FR bike rack has 7-1/2" of clearance, so you need 1/2" more. The shortest 2" to 2" receiver extension available is the Curt # C45791. It will provide the needed clearance. I have attached a link to this item.

Please keep in mind that the use of any reciever extension or adapter reduces cargo capacity by 50%. Your hitch is rated for 350 pounds tongue/cargo weight, so with the extension this is reduced to 175 pounds.
