Compatible swing-away hitch adapters?
I’m looking for a swing away hitch adapter for my bike rack, but given how recessed the hitch mount is on the G it looks like neither the Kuat Pivot or 1-Up RakAttach will work. The Kuat has 5 3/16” clearance between the center of the hitch pin and the swing arm and the RakAttach less. Looking for other options now, but wondering if anyone has some good suggestions / experience here.

There are receiver hitch extension adapters available that will bump your pivot adapter out by about half a foot. Should find one at Walmart in the automotive/trailer accessories aisle. https://www.walmart.com/ip/TOPTOW-Hi...7?from=/search

Thanks. I’m not exactly sure why but the instructions for the pivot say not to use with an extender (guessing for an even higher weight reduction for the rack + bikes?).
I’m planning to pick up an extender as a workable setup but was hoping to find a good swing arm option that didn’t require one.
