How To Attach European 50MM Hitch Ball Mounted Bike Rack To Jeep
Question:
I have a bike rack from Europe that requires a European hitch ball that is 50mm. Do you have anything like this that would be compatible with a Jeep Wrangler? My jeep has a 2inch hitch receiver and the spare tire is mounted on the back of the Jeep. The distance between the pin hole of the hitch receiver and the spare tire is about 9.

If you're just looking for a ball mount with 50mm European hitch ball then we can help. The ball mount I recommend is the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # D-28. It has an extended length shank so it will clear the spare tire. Then you can use the 50MM Hitch Ball part # EH53C-C for the connection to the rack.
