[QUOTE="Patman, post: 469784, member: 16962"] What bikes? You could pretty easily hit 500# with a pair of 250's and a carrier. What Suburban? I doubt a 1/2 ton will be able to operate safely with that much weight cantileavered off the back since most of your braking and all of your steering are done with the front wheels. What hitch? Most stockers require load distribution for a 500# TONGUE weight, your placing a significantly higher load on the hitch in this configuration. Also consider, how safe is driving 85mph with this setup? Not very. Maybe your buddy should ask his wife if he could get a truck? Seems it would be a lot less expensive than picking bike pieces up out of the fast lane or paying for the damage and injury caused buy overloading your vehicle or it's hitch. Also note that if you are operating outside the parameters of the vehicles towing limits your insurance won't be in place for long and one of Elk's associates will be providing you with legal paper requiring some cash outlay. Maybe it's time for the wife to drive the 'burban or get her a crew cab pickup. :) [/QUOTE]
