I bought this "Hitch Extender with Step" for $25, bolted the plate to the bottom of the bumper with Four 1/2" bolts and clamped the long end to the frames crossbar using an extended U-bolt. An 1-1/2" spacer (could be light metal, or channel, I used a block of plastic) was needed on top to level the hitch or give it a slight incline for a bit extra bike tire to ground clearance when using this with a bike rack.

Total = $30, plus I painted it after I took these pics.
