We use the Allen 5-bike from Walmart. I could not justify spending FIVE TIMES more for a bigger named brand. Works great, bit needs that hitch extender from harbor freight.

Sent from some string and a few tin cans.

I got it from etrailer.com. They have a big selection of extensions and drops.

Get a hollow tube that will allow you to use a rattle free hitch pin, keeps everything very tight.

I initially got a longer hitch receiver (Draw Tite) and it cleared my 32s. Then I went to 35s, and put the stock hitch back as well (to gain departure clearance). So now I need an extended that will not rattle. I think if I can find out with a threaded bolt hole, it will not shake. The pin ones seem to be slightly wobbly.

A Locking Anti-rattle hitch pin keeps every tight and quite.

I use the Thule T2 with the stock hitch mount and it fits fine with a 35" spare. No extensions or drops needed but your door will only open a few inches.
