With the bike rack secure, I'll go over a couple clearance measurements for you, for ground clearance we have about 24 1/2 inches, the closest part of the rack to the closest part of the vehicle is probably going to right here at this rise, about 6 inches away, and then overall we've added about 25 1/4 inches to the overall length of our Tahoe. Now I'll go ahead and show you how to lower the platform down. There are three silver pins here at the base, undo two of these to lower the platform. Just pull out the pin, kind of wiggle it a little bit, and then reinsert it. more
