Lolo Racks Bike Rack - Works great!

[Bronc69]

I've had it with the folding arm bike racks. They're a pain to load the bikes (I have a five bike rack and it's difficult to get four bikes on).

I purchased the Lolo Racks four bike rack and all I have to say is "Wow!" It's so easy to load the bikes and there's a ton of clearance under the tires.
The nice thing is, you don't have interference with the handlebars as they're tilted on a 15 degree angle.
It takes about 20 seconds to load a bike on and get the bungies hooked on.
I purchased a Harbor Freight hitch extension that has a riser as well. You can see that the tire on the far bike (mid-sized frame with 29" wheels) is about parallel to the bottom of my spare tire. The nice thing is that all four bikes have about the same clearance or more if they're smaller since they align sideways.
It's very sturdy and made in the USA.
They also have a six bike rack if you need the extra carrying capacity.

So I bought one of these hitch risers, and it wasn’t until I got it home and then looked at your picture again that I realized you have an aftermarket bumper, as well as a spare tire rack that looks to be higher than the stock one. Result: The riser doesn’t fit with a stock bumper and 34” spare.

It’ll still work for me as an extension with the cargo carrier I bought, so it’s no big deal. I just wanted people to be aware who see your setup. I’ll end up cutting the riser shorter and re-weld it so it fits my rig. And while I’m at it, I’ll make it straight and level instead of tilted sideways (thanks, Harbor Freight!)

I stuck the thing in upside down to show how it won’t clear when it’s in the up position…

@Moto26 - Good points as I have the RTR rear bumper and spare tire carrier, so my 35" Nitto is raised up from the stock location for plenty of clearance.

I ended up cutting it down by about 2” so it clears the tire. This should work pretty well, and the cargo carrier will have some ground clearance for things like steep parking lot exits. Not really for aggeessive off-roading.

I might end up making myself a bike rack similar to what you have there. I mostly use my truck to carry the MTB’s around, but you never know…

Cool! Looks good.

Lolo Racks sells the carrier part that holds the handle bars. You can make your own rack and just bolt those on.

Oh, that would be awesome. Thanks for the tip!
