I have a Kury trailer hitch, one that comes straight out normal, the small type of receiver. The 9" receiver has a 3" rise to hold it above the muffler heat some. Most racks are inbetween the mufflers but mine is much larger. I custom made it from all aluminum diamondplate and Alum angle that I got at a salvage yard, I then put a angle on the bottm to further deflect the exhaust heat downward. When loaded I attach the lic plate to rear of rack.
