The Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9058 is a great bike rack. The rack does not come with a trailer hitch, so I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13410 for the most ground clearance or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13390 for the easier installation.
