Yes, you can use one of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters listed below with a Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR.

2" or 4" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-4

2" or 6" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-6

2" or 8" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-8

2" or 10" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-10

Do note the bike rack is 32" long from the center of the hitch pin and Tow Bars # RM-676 are 52" long as a reference. Be sure to check your specific application to ensure you will have ample clearance between the rack and your Suzuki Samurai as it can change from tow vehicle to tow vehicle depending on length.

Since the receiver height and the base plate height of the vehicle is the same, you won't need to worry about keeping the tow bar level. If your bike rack has an angled shank with a couple inches of rise to it, you could use the #RM-077-6. If the…
