Hitch Rack Question

My front hitch is on and I am worried it may be too high to use my rod rack. But I am not sure. I have attached photos. I am not concerned about visually but rather having rods in it and bridges and such. Anyone know what a normal bride standard is?

I have the fish-n-mate 6 with a straight receiver bar. They make one with a 6 inch rise. I am wondering if I need to get one and run it upside down so it has a 6 inch drop.

I have searched her and on the web and found nothing.

Do you think it is ok the way it sits?

 

Anything over 10' might be a problem. I don't travel with rods in the rack. Mine all are 2pc and ride inside. Once at the beach, they go in the rack.

 

Agreed- most of mine ride in the ski rack on the roof. just want to be safe.

 

i dont know DOT regulation, but i have gotten away with a little over 13' in rehoboth delaware.

the flag collapses, but the bog rod, is 12'3" plus 18" give or take to the ground. any thing over 10, id worry. not necessarilly power lines or lights, but speed bumps and trees in neighborhoods.
