I have very little clearance in my garage. How many inches does this carrier extend above the roof racks once attached and folded down?

When folded down they appear to stick up above the luggage rack cross bar approximately 3.5 inches. Loaded, height (for us) the height is the width of the kayak (32" recreational kayaks).

It folds away at maybe a 45 degree angle, if there are no bikes on it-I use it with a full size Dodge truck and when it's folded down the tailgate will open.

This will extend your hitch by about 11-12". The top receiver is about 4 inches above the lower. It works the best on a truck or larger SUV where the primary receiver (bottom) can have a drop style hitch, giving you room for whatever you use the top for. I use it on a minivan, which works but is not the best. With the low clearance of the van, I have to use a straight hitch for the bottom receiver. My bike rack can then be used in the top rack with just enough clearance, but gives the van a "low rider" appearance.

When folded it is still the same height if you had a veryarge suite case it might fit. As for me it take up almost the whole bottom floor in the back of my truck.

Sorry for the delay. It sticks out 2 inches when folded. I love it. I have a very small laundry room and it would have been behind a door as well. We ended up putting a barn style sliding door on the inside. Works great and gave a us a lot more space.

The ramp is 36" and when it's folded down it lays flat in the basket. Great carrier for all types of small jobs.

I used the hoist to hold up Costco Kayaks. I put the straps at the widest point. That will make it 22 inches. I also used the same product and didn't used the hooks provided to hold a a ladder. This makes it 12 inches from the top of the ceiling to the ladder. I was going to use kayaks in this area, but it was to close to the garage door. But when I had it on it attached, the Kayak was 16 inch gap.

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 mounting brackets on the rack are adjustable for skinny or wide mount on roof bars. The basket also sticks up about 2" above the roof bars.

The van top carrier was nice and big. However, the first time it was used, one of the tie downs ripped off when we were on the freeway at fairly high speed so I disposed of it and cannot tell you for sure what the dimensions were. I suggest you use additional tie downs if you do purchase this item. Irene

The cargo carrier clamps onto the 2 rectangular bars that go across the roof which are ajustable. The bars are part of a seperate roof rack. I am not familiar with your vehicle.

About 8" or 9". I use a small car carrier on my Volvo coupe to transport it.

You may have to call extang. If you fold it back it will still extend out about 2 feet 4,5 or 6 inches from rear window of cab. Not sure how much room your hitch needs. The entire cover removes in seconds if folding it back doesn't give you enough clearance. I am out of town but should be back in a couple of hours. Let me know if you want me to get exact measurements for you.

To Keith Dawson: I do not own this particular rack; however, I occasionally transport bicycles on the front of my H2 when hauling our boat. What I did was have a hitch modified so as to drop it 13 inches on my hummer which put my bicycles about 8-9 inches from the ground. The hitch ends up with a "Z" shape except imagine the middle line being straight instead of slanted.

Answer here...They are about 18" tall and quite strudy. It actually feels I could pry the roof rack off with them. I stack 2 cayaks side by side and lean them up on 1 upright. I have had no problem with them. I hope this helps.

If it doesn't come out far enough, you could buy a hitch extender. This is not a difficult rack to get on and off the hitch, but it is a bit awkward because the rack does not fold down flat. It's a great hitch rack though. I highly recommend it.

Hi! As specified in the warranty guidelines, we cannot recommend the installation of the carrier on said location. The racks are designed for standard vehicle hitches of 1 1/4 to 2 inch in size. Thank you!
