Today on our 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, we will be test fitting the Swagman Jackknife 2 Bike
Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, it's part number S63450. To begin our
test fit, we'll slide the shank of the bike rack into the receiver tube of our hitch,
line up our pin holes, thread in our anti-rattle bolt, and secure it with either the lock or
the clip. We have about 19-3/4" worth of ground clearance. The closest point to
the rack to the back of the Suburban is about 10-3/4", and overall we've added
about 23" to the length of the Suburban. By pulling the silver pin at the base of the
rack, it will allow us to tilt it away from our vehicle, giving us full access to our
rear hatch. With our mast back in its upright position, we'll get ready to load our
bike. We'll begin this by pulling the black lever at the top of the mast, and swinging
out our cradle arms. With our cradle arms out in this position, we have added about
33-1/2" to the back of the Suburban. We will now undo the cradle straps, place
our bike into the wheel cradles, and secure it with the straps.
