you can get three bike racks with a spare tire mount.

I'd think a bungee cord would do that.

I cut down a Yakima Big Horn 4 hitch mount rack to go into a front 2"
hitch. The stock rack carried the bikes too high. This lets me carry
bikes on the front while towing a trailer.

Simply drill new holes in the Yakima upright, slide the arm assembly
down, shim the arms to slightly above level, and you're good to go.
Check for bottom clearance before drilling. If you leave the post
full-length, you can move the arms back up for other vehicles.

Be careful with racks that attach to the spare. I lost two door latches
using one. The rear gate hardware can barely handle the 30" spare,
much less bikes.
