Question:

I would like to load a 400# motorcycle using a 2inch receiver hitch. Will your product support this. Any idea on suspension modifications I should perform on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Yes, the trailer hitch part # DT78MR has a 675 lb tongue weight capacity so it would be rated high enough to use a motorcycle carrier and carry a 400 lb bike as well. You really need to check the owners manual to determine the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle too though and go by the lower rated figure.

The # UF48-979033 would also work as a carrier too since it has a 500 lb weight capacity.

For suspension enhancement the Firestone air bag kit part # F4173 would be a great option that would allow you more support when carrying the motorcycle.
