bike racks?

where can i get a decent bike rack for under $125? i need it to be able to hold a full suspension (cheapo' type from walmart) bike (possibly 2 or 3) and fit in a 2" reciever hitch. prefer a foldable one that will allow access to the rear compartment of my jeep cherokee XJ

i was lookin at this but i dont know if itll hold a bike with a full suspension frame...

i bought a rack from this guy: hitch your ride

fast and free shipping, plus my rack was about $60 cheaper than what my LBS was selling it for. If you need to haul a FS bike, you can buy a bar that attaches from your stem to your seat post, i think they are only about $15.

if you dont want to go that route, you can just get a rack where the bikes are attached at the wheels, instead of the top tube.

For FS bikes, or any bike for that matter, I like the tray style racks. Don't have to worry about the bikes hanging down, and w/ a tray style rack, they don't contact each other.

I have this rack and it has been awesome. The only thing I have switched is, instead of using a little knob to tighten down the clamp, I replaced it w/ a bolt, a lock washer, and a nut, just a little more security for me.
