Trailer hitch for L400

I'm looking to get a trailer hitch installed on my '99 L400 S2 SWB. I found this one at Rising Sun Auto Import:

Looks easy enough to install (bolt-on) and from the image looks like the spare wheel can stay right where it is. We won't be towing anything, it's to attach a swingaway bike carrier on. Wonder if anyone has any experience with this one, or has other options available?
Cheers,
Carlo

I went to E&H Hitch in Burnaby. They are really good at what they do and would highly recommend them. They are also good at customising your set up, such as listening to your description and interpreting it into the mounted metal that you envisioned. It's all they do.

P.S.: The custom paint job in the picture below was by me, they paint it black. FC.

hey,
I have the rising sun hitch, It's been great pulling a side by side and a trailer. I can take some pictures of the mounting if you rlike. The spare fits like normal

Thanks. After doing more digging around I'm going to go with Coombs Country Auto, where the van was originally imported and they've done a bunch of work on it in the past...I'll just let them install it...because it's a gas engine something needs to be modified with the tailpipe apparently.
