Hitch Extender Recommendation to Let a Thule Camber Bike Rack Clear Bumper of 2014 Nissan Rogue

Question:

I have a Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 bike 2inch receiver that I purchased for my Nissan Xterra a while back. I recent changed cars and had a trailer hitch installed on a 2014 Nissan Rogue. I want to use my bike rack but it doesnt clear the bumper. Can you recommend the right trailer hitch extension for me that would fit? The receiver I have for the new car is a 1 1/4. The Bike rack can fit either 2inch or 1 1/4. Can you help me? I dont know the proper length to get as an extension.

We have two options that will extend your 1-1/4 inch hitch so that you would have enough clearance for your bike rack on your 2014 Nissan Rogue, but first you need to consider that using an extender cuts the capacity of your hitch in half.

The Brophy Extender part # hes6 will give you an additional 6 inches of clearance, the # hes0 will give you 10 inches of clearance. I would recommend going with the shortest one that will still give you the needed clearance.

I attached an FAQ article on hitch extenders for you to check out as well.
