Does the piece that connects to the hitch go all the way around hitch or does it leave a gap on the bottom?

It operates like a post hole digger with the two pieces hinged just above the hitch. There is a gap on the bottom where the two lips on the bottom come together.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes there is about a one inch gap at the top and bottom. However. I carry two mtn bikes for 500 miles at a time and have had no problems whatsoever. I have also towed my camper and the bike along with my two kayaks on the roof with no problems. I hope this helps

It does have a small gap on bottom but it is pretty secure. It will only move/flex as much as the hitch moves.

There are multiple threaded holes in back to accommodate most all ball heights, it's just an anti rattle anyhow, you won't here anything while your towing if you don't use it. It's a good hitch, don't let the anti rattle stop you from buying it.

What she meant is if the bar that goes into the hitch is long enough for the vertical bar to clear the spare tire. It would have to be 8-9" minimum from the pin hole. Can someone please measure it? I also drive a jeep and would like to know before I buy it. Thanks!

This is on a 1974 Ford F250. Hitch bolts to bottom of frame. From bottom of Frame to center of receiver 7 1/2". From bottom of bumper to center of receiver is 5" and to ground is 16"

I don't have gap on mine. The hinges have wiggle room but i recall adding some wedge type wood to make the close flush

There should be no gap - there was none when I installed it. Either something is not lined up right or you have a narrower than normal door.

There is a little bit of play between the two. It rattles around a bit when not loaded but no different from other hitches I have used over the years. It is a solid hitch so far.

I am unsure what you are asking. The rear-most muffler hanger(on the muffler) hits the hitch. A quick fix was to use a wire tie to pull the muffler away from the hitch. I guess I could try and bend the muffler hanger on the muffler? The hitch is installed and works fine.

It is made to go into a standard 2" hitch. I have it for my atv. I had to get an hitch tgat goes into my 1.25 receiver on my atv and then the other side is setup for the 2" hitch.

about 10 1/4 center to center it is about a 1/2 inch closer than the bottom. you have about three inches clearance from hitch to top receiver.

The picture up above is one piece. That's the one I ordered but I had to return it. My hitch is smaller.

It fits my 2 inch trailer hitch. I'm not sure if it adapts downward. I found it to be a very sturdy construction. You should have no trouble carrying three bikes, high clearance. It also extends forward enabling the rear door to open. I was very satisfied with my purchase.

The hitch actually fits under the back cover. I thought I would have to cut the back cover to make it fit but it bolts straight to frame and hangs beneath the black plastic pieces of the truck.

Yes, it doe hang below the bumper, you don't lose much clearance, just about the thickness of the hitch, 2".I don't know what you will use it for but please note that if you are going to use with a foldable bicycle rack, the trays may hit the bumper when the rack is in folded position. I have the Thule T2 and the plastic trays for the front wheels hit the bumper. This issue does not happen with older Forester models. I had to buy a 2" hitch extension and it works fine. The hitch sticks out back a little bit more, maybe 2", but it is not an issue. The rack is firm and sound.

It clamps around the tube of the ball mount. Space used is about 2 inches if that, I use mine between the camper and my truck it makes it perfect for hualing bikes to the campground.

It attaches to the hitch in the rear and over 2 bolts behind the rear wheels

The center of the hole IS about 1.5" from the end of the 1.25" shaft. The hole is about .5" in diameter. When I say "about" I mean I used a tape measure. Certainly within 1/16th of an inch. Perhaps you can grind the end off a bit if you need the distance to be shorter. Or if it's welds that keep the adapter from entering the hitch fully, perhaps chamfer the end.
