Thought I would post some pics of a slightly different setup. OE Hitch with a 9" extension from Amazon. It fits perfectly with the spare, even with the ski rack setup which protrudes towards the tire.

Another option would have been to mount the skis on the bottom and the box on top with the shorter 7" extension, but I didn't want the skis in the path of the debris from the tires.

and factory hitch basically is about flush with the bumper it doesnt stick out at all, vs the other one which you could see goes all the way almost end of spare, so this set up is good for the shorter style hitch thats just at the bumper??

Yes, I had the factory hitch on mine.

his setup was way better than mine! Definitely the route to go. I have since changed my setup but Quick’s is definitely the best route without touching the spare or removing it.

@Quick @Hazard
I have a Sasquatch with factory hitch.
If I get the EXO System, what do I need to do to be able to open the tailgate fully?
Do I need an extension with a drop so the spare tire clears the rack?
Does anyone have any pictures of this (Sasquatch with factory hitch, EXO System, tailgate open)?

Factory hitch with a 9” receiver is all you’d need I’d say which is what quick has. I don’t have any pictures unfortunately. I don’t have the same setup anymore. I switched to a roof rack setup for my gear and boards.

I hate that I found this thread and really don't want to drop $1,800 on a rear carrier but damnit if this is not the perfect solution.

Thanks for the details. I may give the EXO system a try this weekend. I have a few different size hitch extensions on the way.

Off topic...LOL GGS license plate...Golden Guardians?

Try e trailer that’s where I purchased it. They have bundles which are heavily discounted in my experience in comparison to buying it all individually I don’t think I went over 1600 when I bought the setup
