If needed I can also beef my hitch to be even stronger. I just do not
recommend hanging 250 pound plus off the back off the van.

Yes I know I been out of touch for a while.

Hey Frank,
I'm thinking of carrying my 250lb scooter on the back using a MC carrier
attached to my GoWesty bumper/receiver-hitch.  What, if any, mods or
upgrades have you done to the suspension to handle the extra weight hanging
off the back?  How's the handling?

Cheers!
