How high does this bike rack stand? I have a cover on my bed so will I be able to keep the rack in the bed of my truck with the cover closed?

it measures 22 and one half inches high and it works good, also great for storing bikes in basement or shed

Mine actually sits about 1/2 inch above the bed so I guess it depends on your bed cover

no it will not. as a matter of fact throw this away and invest in a better quality bike carrier!

I don't thik so. I have a Ridgeline, and the rack is higher than the bed truck.

I also have a bed cover and should just clear. I also took a bike cable lock and locked it to the tie down hooks in the truck. I have a Tundra so it is a full size truck and bed.There are not many bike racks that will handle 4 bikes at a time. You do need to tie the back of the bikes so they stand straight up and make it sturdy so they don't lean when turning. If I was just doing two bike I use something like this. http://www.carid.com/curt/curt-bike-racks-15943198.html.

It depends on how high your seatpost is--the bike attaches to seatpost, so if you are tall, you might be able to keep the rack on (depending on how long it is). THere is about 8.5" of clearance on mine between my tire and the post for the wee rider. I could see a rack being there, although it would really be usable.

I'm sorry I can't help you because I used the cover to store my extra bike outside and now it is buried in a snow bank behind the house. When the snow melts I will find out just good this cover is and will gladly measure the cover for you.

I have mountain bikes in my rack and no problem with it holding those tires. Looks like it can handle tires up to 31/4 inches wide. If your tires are bigger then that, it might not work for you.

i also have found that the frame of the rack will flex somewhat.I have mountes racks on a mongoose 29er, my wife's schwinn beach cruiser and also her mongoose 26 inch as to theactual dimension it is somewhere about 5-6''

I bought a rack at the same time and it went right on no problems. I did have a bike with separate bolt holes on the frame for finders and a rack. Clearance was not a problem. You might have to get longer bolts if you only have one hole set for both fenders and rack. With 1/2" elevation difference in the bike mounting holes, I still have 1" between the fender and the bottom of the rack. I cannot answer about the baskets.

This is actually a stand to work on your bike. It is pretty strong but will not go up high enough to place a bike under it.

Not sure how far out the spare tire extends, but the vertical post of the bike rack is 9.5 inches out from the end of the hitch.

If you are reasonably careful, but the rack must be "securely" mounted to the wall. I normally have two bikes up, but at times I take the bottom one for a ride leaving the top bike still on the rack. It seems secure and has not been a problem. I would not trust it free standing..

Raymond, the rack will fit, do not know about damaging the cover, but will securely hold two bikes

There should not be a problem. The vertical bar on the rack sits about a foot away from the back of the camper so that's as close as the bikes get.

It really depends on the size of your bikes. We have two Gary Fischer mountain bikes and the racks are hung approx. 12-15 inches from each other.

The top of the rack itself has a 15 1/2" platform. Mine sits a few inches back from seat post tube. The distance from post tube to the back of rack is 21". My seat however extends 1" over the front of the rack, leaving 14 1/2" of space for a very high basket or pack. All of this depends somewhat on your bike geometry since the rack is adjustable. You shouldn't have a problem with the basket extending over the back of the rack however (it's very sturdy) so it will probably work for you.

For me, In order for it to stay open without having to hold it, I am about 4 inches back from the top of my bed. My dodge 3500 8 foot bed has a reinforcement structure at the top. I hope this helps.

If you leave the rack attached to your vehicle, it should be no problem. I think it's easier to load this rack than the hanging style. Just set your bike on the tire racks, pull down the top hook, and go.

I have a shorter 2013 Ram Truck bed (approx 5'5" interior length) and it lays in the bed nicely while attached with the gate closed - approx 4" clearance between the AMP extender and the wheel wells. As a bonus, the AMP extender cannot be removed while the gate is closed. So if you have a locking gate, the AMP extender can remain in your vehicle pretty securely.

8 feet what tall? I only have the rack that fits two bikes and put together it's about 7 feet tall. One thing they never tell ya too is that for it to work really good you need to fasten to the wall.
