How much space do I need on the ball mount to attach this rack?

at least 1 inch - better if you have 2 inchesthanksfranktrailer depot of sarasota

About 2 to 3 inches if I remember correctly. You kind of want an extended hitch anyway because you don't want what you are towing on the ball to collide into the bikes on a sharp turn.

It clamps around the tube of the ball mount. Space used is about 2 inches if that, I use mine between the camper and my truck it makes it perfect for hualing bikes to the campground.

the description says 4.7 inches. you can remove the center column and attach the ballhead right to the main strut of the tripod

Sorry I misunderstood you question. It's a little less than 1/2" surface to bottom of rack.

just barely two inches of space when clamp is fully opened, hope this helps.

I don't think there is enough room between the bar and the tire but that might depend on the rack size and seat post length.

Similar problem - no way to get to nut inside channel to tighten down properly either. Might work for a smaller ball, but I would not trust it even if you could get it on there. The workaround I used (found on Amazon as I needed ASAP for a trip) was to purchase a different receiver hitch that had a "piggy back" receiver welded above it. The upper one can be used to hold the bike rack and the "real" one below allows a ball to be mounted properly. Added advantage is you can get a MUCH better tow rating / capacity using this configuration.Hope this helps.MP

The clearance behind the 6U rack is over 19". It will be affected by any gear mounted in the top rack of course.

With the bar, it's about 51" from end to end. I mounted a 2x6 across the studs, then mounted the Monkey Bar Rack to the 2x6. I plan to add a second 2x6 along the bottom of the wall where the tires touch, as well. The bar seems sturdy when properly mounted. I have 6 bikes on 2 of these racks and I feel confident that I could add more. I searched high and low for an affordable, ready-made 6 bike rack that will hold all our mountain bikes. This was the best solution in it's price range.

The rack is approx. 27". I mounted it on a 1 x2" board so I would be sure to screw into the roof joists.

You would need more space than that. I have a shelf right there as well. I installed it at an angle at first, got it snug and then rotated it underhand tightened it carefully with a plier. But there is not much space to play with, they should have put the fasteners on the bottom

I think that mine is mounted in the equivalent of a full width 19" rack. I say "equivalent" because it is actually secured to a board and that board is attached to the wall.

After its completely assembled, the space it takes up from the tip of the top bracket arm, to the bottom of the lower rack assembly is 1 foot. It is 24 5/8" wide.

No clue. A leg on mine broke in about 2 months. I would look for a new rack all together.

I mounted mine with a double 1 inch ball mount to a Ram computer mount in my truck. It requires and extra 1 inch ball and double ended extension.

You are correct about the hardware. You should have a minimum of a 25 1/2 " width to mount this tray.

Not sure, I took off the mounting plate to use one front the system I already had. Ball head is pretty strong.
