Bill,

My hitch receiver was not flush with the rear bumper as well...this is common. The hitch was used with a tow bar system to allow towing my Acura SUV four wheels down, so it was less than the rated 10,000 lbs of the hitch and did not have any appreciable carry weight to speak of. I recall the hitch was rated for about 1000 lbs carry, so even with a stinger extension for a bike rack you should be well in limits.
