How far below the bumper do the bike tires extend/hang?

I bought this rack mainly to use on our 5th wheel but so far have only used it on the pickup truck. As the bike wheels sit in the rack holders they don't really hang down but with the rack coming straight out from the receiver hitch (which is already below bumper height) the wheels then are below the bumper. I have found no problems with ground clearance. If that is your concern I guess you could get one of those step up adapters to raise the rack a few inches. Hope that helps. Cheers. PS my rack will not be bolted to the bumper as my 5th wheel has a receiver hitch as well.

Maybe a couple if inches, the rack is great we put it on the rear bumper of our travel trailer.

the tire racks and thus the tires are essentially the same height as your trailer reciever

can you measure the chasy? If you can tell me what the outside measurement is I will measure my bumper and let you know. If you can also send a picture of what you have that would be helpful.

I have a spare tire too. My spare tire is connected to the bumper so I was able to slide it over to the edge and then attach this bike rack. A tight fit for the bigger bikes, but I just put them on the outside positions of the bike rack and they fit perfect. We have traveled to 7 different states with this rack attached and we love it.

The 2" reference is for the size of receiver, has nothing to do with the length of the extension, overall it is about 13" and the other answers are correct about 7-8" extension when installed. Be aware that extensions are great for bike racks allowing for clearance past rear mounted spare tires but when trailering this extension's use diminishes the tow vehicles listed tongue weight and trailering capacities.

I'd say about 5 inches. It puts the surface of rack level with the top of the bumper

The muffler body sits tucked up somewhat. The tips do extend just below the bumper but I would not say they hang down. My rig is lifted three inches and on 35s and I've done some rock crawling myself and so far have not had any issues.

The whole set up is 13 inches long. The larger part that you would insert your rack into is about 6 inches long. So, about 6 inches of the bike rack will go into the receiver. That would put the rack at least 13 inches away from your bumper. Hope that helps.

I'll try to help you, but I don't understand your question. Are you referring to a fifth wheel trailer? If so, I would say NO! Not behind the tow vehicle under the front of the fifth wheel trailer. Add about 1' to the height of your bike and that'll give you an idea of how much room you need, plus any clearances of vehicle movement.

It really depends on the size of your bikes. We have two Gary Fischer mountain bikes and the racks are hung approx. 12-15 inches from each other.

I believe the bar is higher. Bought boys bike for my Grandson. He loves it. Hard to find tire tubes for replacement though.

It hangs no lower than the exhaust system. The hitch is heavy duty well made. I would remove the muffler as it helps with the install

they extend from the edge of the vehicle approx. 7.5 inches and they hang down 4.5 inches

I had a similar problem with low profile tires. I could not find a good place to attach them. My bumpers are plastic and not sturdy enough to hold them. I think they are meant for older cars with medal bumpers.

I'm not sure how far the tire comes out from the vehicle, 10 1/4" from the bumper, and you can raise or lower appliance 7". Hope this helps. :-)

I have 4 on my wall side to side, spaced about 9.5" apart from each other. At first i measured directly underneath my bike's bottom bracket to the outside of one of the pedals which was about 8 inches, so I knew it had to be 8" apart at least. But actually my studs dictate where the rack goes

Not all bike racks are the same. I have a Transit bike rack and have about .25" clearance above the fender.

They stick out from body about 4-5 inches. They work well with the larger off-road tires that I have.
