After using my Joe Hauler rack for a while I also had two extra mounting points added. On roads in bad shape with lots of bumps the rack would bouce up and down a bit, enough to have the handguard hit the rim on the box and bend it. Adding the two extra mounting bars really helped this. I might move the box to the opposite side because of this.
The rack I have also has the cam adjuster to prevent wobble in the actual hitch. It works but also takes extra time installing and removing. Does it work well enough to justify the extra time, not sure. I know the builder himself doesn't use it because of the extra time.
I also have an old MotoJackRack I use on occasion. Have an extension so I can run it on the front or back of my van, allowing me to carry two dirt bikes. The MotoJackRack feels sketchy but I have used it on and off for years on different vehicles with no issues. It also keeps the bike up higher which is a big plus on an EB van to help prevent dragging on steep driveways and off-road.
