Hitch Bike Rack recommendations?

[jeep-tonic]

Solved my drop clearance problem when I learned about the 1up reverse plates that dropped the rack a bit to clear the tailgate without needing the 2" drop adapter.

Since you too have a 1up rack, consider the reverse plates may be a better, cleaner, lighter way to carry bikes. You won't need the 2" drop adaptor so it may be cheaper. My 1up with reverse plates carries 2 fatbikes that clear a 35x12.5 spare.

wow thanks, great info! I will ask them about reverse plates.
can you show a photo of the rig?

i promise to post mine once mounted.

1UPUSA. Best I've ever owned and will never need another. Light weight, folder up when not in use, easy to store, no rust, bikes load unload with ease, good security, etc. I am happy.

I have this permanently attached to it to drop it down and out a couple of inches to clear my 37" spare.

I use something similar to this to keep it all tight and secure to hitch.

Just wanted to share that I installed the 'Allen Sports Premier for Spare' (model 400QR) kit and it's worked out amazingly well.
Clears my 37x12.5's right out of the box. Locks and drops when I need it to.

I needed a 4 bike carrier and this fits the bill. Super sturdy too- no wobbling and no other modifications needed. Just wanted to share. It was under $200 bucks too. Thanks to whoever recommended it in one of the much earlier posts. >>>

Is that model number correct? The 400QR comes in a full C-note higher, at $300.00...or almost two add'l. C-notes, depending on the seller.

Amazon has it for $260.

It's not as fancy as those by Thule or Yakima but also doesnt' cost anywhere near as much. It is easy to use and you can open the gate with no problem.

I'm really happy with my 1Up bicycle rack for the Wrangler, fits snug to the tire and no extension required, see image
