Hitch riser in excess?

[garmp]

We have a Class B+, just for conversation sake, and have recently purchased 2 ebikes along with a Kuat bike carrier. The carrier is made for ebikes & RVs. I think I need a 10" hitch riser to give visibility to my taillights & licenses plate. Is that an excessive rise for stability sake? I do plan on using a hitch stabilizer on the riser.
The carrier is rated for quite a bit more weight than the 2 bikes weigh, so I'm OK from that stand point.
If a riser of that height won't work, I'll have to devise something for the taillights & plate.
thanks

The only issue I see is having to lift the bikes an additional 10" to set on the rack.
No stability issues when using a hitch stabilizer.

We have two (Himiway) E-Bikes at 72 lbs each, and a Hollywood carrier at
53 lbs. for a total weight of 197 lbs. That said, I would be concerned with the amount of torque that it would put on the hitch with a 10 inch extension would cause going over bumps while driving.

If there was a way of tying back the bikes to the rear of the RV to keep from a flexing that should work.
That's the reason why they do not recommend bike carriers on the back of TT's. They also don't even recommend them on the back of Toads which make no sense to me. If you can have them on the back of a Jeep but not a towed jeep, How does a Jeep (and Carrier) know that it's being towed
