I had the bicycle hitch mount put on the trailer when I ordered it from DT. I would not do so again. It was only spot or tack welded without a single good bead. The same "quality" of weld that was used to attach the shock mounts for the trailer. It also hung down below the frame of the trailer about 4 to 6 inches right at the end of the rig. As a result it would drag on the pavement either going up or down when moving over different levels of roadway such as entering or leaving a drive way. It sheared off exiting a driveway and stuck itself back into the end of the trailer causing a pretty fair amount of damage to the rear cap.

The rear end of the DT trailers are not tapered very much and gets pretty close to the ground as is. I wouldn't recomend putting anything under the trailer where it sticks down below the frame.
