Agreed. That's my only gripe about it. My swing out bike rack was 3/4" too long and I didn't want to cut it. So, I sold the bike rack.I installed the Rhino OX hitch receiver. It allows for bit more ground clearance. My only complaint is that it's not very deep. I had to take an inch or so off my hitch. https://www.snomasterusa.com/product/rhino-ox-hitch/View attachment 22513
