If everything fits and its sturdy, then it sounds good to go. Id only be concerned if a bolt was too short somewhere. If so, swap it for one that is too long somewhere

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

I noticed one of the bolts became a little bit loose after a particularly strenuous work out. I removed all of the bolts, used a little Loctite and put the bolts back in and tightened them. No more bacing out bolts. I hope this helps.

The front cross bar fit absolutely perfectly. The rear cross bar was not a perfect fit. The only way I can describe the fitment is it almost looked as if the rear rail was warped. One screw hole on each end of the bar was about a quarter inch bent in. When you put the screw through the cross bar and then the existing rail, the "warped fitment" is pulled out and sits flush. It's odd that it would lay that way initially, but the problem is corrected once the the screws are in place.

You'd have to call them and ask. I've thought of it myself when I bought it, and it has holes for a second one, at least mine does. I was going to see if they'd send a new chin up bar if I claimed the one I had was warped, but after I got it I didn't find it necessary, and the one that's there I occasionally bang my head on when racking and unracking a squat, so it'd be an issue every time you got into the rack even for average height. The overall structure of the unit is pretty good without an extra chin up bar. I've had 500lbs racked without problem, and I've also done dips with my 330lb body on it by placing two barbells across the safety pins with no complaints, I've also turned the existing chin bar there into an adjustable lat/ab/tricept pull down cable machine by attaching pulleys to it. No complaints whatsoever. As long as you dont do plank pullup side twists with the bar, which would be hard to do with the rack, it will hold.

I didn't use the rack mounted to the hitch ball hole on the bumper as it was designed. It would probably cause a problem with the shell though. I mounted mine to a piece of receiver that I slid into the receiver and that way I could move it away from any obstacles. Its a great rack and like it because of the lock. Good luck!!

I had only one problem. The last section I had put together, I had only to reverse it. Otherwise the instructions were OK.. I am 70 years old. Don't give up. If every part islabeled properly, it should go together fine. Larry

I bought one a year ago. I have had 4 bikes on it. What you do is load two bikes, each bike facing a different direction, then you put the second rack on, but not all the way in until you load the 3rd. bike on. Tighten down the thumb screw then load the 4th. bike. It works for me.

I would try loading your bike onto the rack with your existing bolt to see if that worked instead of using the one they provide

Ask this guy: Lex, Racks for All. He contacted me through Amazon, so I don't have a direct email.

Mike,I had the EXACT same problem for a day or so. Then, for some unexplained reason, the stars aligned, and it seated correctly (while I was making a video to email to Lucid to demonstrate problem, no less). Try turning the square bolts 90 degrees, 1 at a time, and check seating after you turn each one. For me, it was the REAR bolt that was giving me problems. Try mounting it on different rail spaces, too. Let Lucid know, ASAP, tho, so its documented. They told me (the "founder"), that they never heard of this problem. LOL. Mine sits tight now...go figure. Good luck.

I have recently moved. and it's still packed. but if I remember right the little band turns and it loosens and you put them in and then tighten them. if you can't get it. I will keep checking back and as soon as I unpack it , I will check here. or ask the seller maybe ? Sorry I don't think I"m much help

I did not install it - a friend of mine did. But he said it installed perfectly by precisely following the instructions. He also said the enclosed hardware worked without any problems. Sorry for no more details than that!

Good question! Mine did not come with the bolts and I had to purchase hardware separately. I was surprised and it was inconvenient. However, Rack is AWESOME!

I did not assemble my unit myself. So I do not know the answer. My friend did it for me because it arrived while I was gone. He said it was very simple. But simple can be a relative term. I do know that the rack on one side is meant to be lower than the rack on the other side. They are not the same height, in case that is hopeful.

Sounds like you put it together incorrectly. Assuming the holes align you put the bolts through a pair of holes and screw the nut on from the below the frame.

To be honest, I never noticed this when ordering mine. I bought the 1-Rack item as pictured. I am very pleased with mine and like the idea of being able to move it around within my garage. Perhaps the 2-Rack is double-wide???
