Sounds like you have a high low adapter currently that has 4 inches so for a similar dual hitch adapter you'd want the part # RM-077-4 which has the same 4 inch drop and a hitch opening above it for your bike rack.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
