Get all the receiver tubes ready and cut them if you can and mark the carrier with chalk where u want it welded and have a local welder stick it together. The less he has to think the cheaper it will be for you.
HE will likely tack it together with everything in the truck hitch so it fits for sure.
Could be $150 or so depending how complex it is.
If I was doing for me, first I would use the tube that is there, mount off center, to see how far the rail would need to be set out from receivers for bike to fit. Then I would tie bike to rail with rail setting on tubes sticking out of receivers so I could slide side to side to decide where it needed to ride as high as possible, then build the brackets to fit the rail at that height. Would have both brackets in their holes when wielding to rails. The last step would be drill the pin holes.
And there is always a little slop in the fit tube/receiver. I would make 1 of the brackets go a little deeper into the hole. This way you can watch to get one at a time started. Might even cut the bottom corner off so have a taper to help start it.
