This is a pretty heavy rack, it's not a bad idea to have an extra set of hands. The way I like to do it is just kind of get it resting in the hitch tube, lift up and press in. As we slide this in, we want to get the pinhole, that's in the shank of our carrier, to line up with the pinhole that's in our hitch. With those lined up, we'll take a standard 5/8 pin, we're going to slide it through, then secure it with a clip on the other side. The carrier is going to offer us about 11 1/2 inches worth of ground clearance. more
