Recommended Hitch Extender for a Jeep Wrangler Hauling a Bike Rack

Hi, which hitch extender would I need for mounting the xtc 2 bike rack on a Jeep Wrangler? The video did not specify a size. Thanks, Frank

Expert Reply:
The 8" Long Trailer Hitch Extender item # e88YR you were looking at would be the best option, for both length and price, to clear the spare tire on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler. This will allow you to install the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack item # S64670 and not have to worry about rubbing against the tire.
It is important to note that any time you use hitch extender of any kind, it decreases the weight capacity of the hitch by 50%.
