The Stand-Off is the most common bracket type to attach pivot plates and bicycle racks and is the most commonly recommended mounting method. Stand-Off brackets provide excellent stability for the bicycle rack as well as easy installation and removal of the pivot plate. Stand-Off brackets are available in various lengths and do not require removal of the bumper for installation. The following information will be necessary for our sales staff to determine the proper fit for your vehicle: vehicle make and model, vehicle year, bumper manufacturer, and type.
