I made a pin box receiver to mount my bike rack. Works great. Keeps the bikes up and out of the way when not needed. And no bouncing.

I have seen rear mount bikes riding very steady. And I have seen rear mount bikes bouncing rather violently wondering how long they would last. Probably most people don't know what their bikes are doing back there.

Frame mounts using pin box bolts. It is very close to, but not touching, the top of the pin box. Did not want to drill holes in the pin box to mount it. Frame is made from 2"x2" angle iron and a $20 receiver tube from Harbor Freight.
