I'll have a look tomorrow and will let you know.
 
The bike rack sit and clamps to the tow ball. The arrangement on the bike rack that receives the tow ball has an "end stop", i.e a collar* . This sits just under the tow ball and will set the height of the rack when clamped.

The "collar" on mine was "slightly" raised. I took away a very small amount of material away at this point (think of skimming). This allowed the bike rack to pivot a little more (backward) allowing the tail gate to clear.

*think of a shirt collar - the tow ball is your head / your neck is the shaft under the tow ball.

Hope this makes sense?
 
Thanks

Yeah I think I understand you.
So the trimming is actually off the round section that clamps down on the ball.
 
Yes and no. The collar is fixed so unable to clamp.

I will take a photo over the weekend and post it.

Thanks PJM-84

That's the bit I thought you meant.
Mine seems pretty smooth already though.
Maybe I can take 1/8" off it.

Lets see what happens :thumb
