Rear Suspension for Motorcycle Carrier

[BuckRebel2020]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie here. I just purchased a new 4WD Rebel after driving a 2WD Laramie for the past 5 years. I used to carry my motorcycle in the bed of the Laramie, but it was tough getting a 455 pound bike up there using a ramp. Since the Rebel sits higher, I am considering getting a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier so I don't bust my a*%. The combined weight would be around 540-550#'s which the class IV hitch receiver should be able to handle, but I'm worried about the rear suspension. I don't have the air suspension and am worried about sagging, bouncing and wearing out the rear shocks. Do you guys think it would be an issue?? I'd appreciate any input.

You can always add the Airlift 1000 bags that slide into the rear coil springs. Less than $100.
