Hi Dan; what kind of bike rack do you have? Curt has this restriction on pretty much all of their Class III hitches. For a hitch that doesn't have this restriction I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75703. This is a Class IV hitch with a 2" receiver and a 600 lb max tongue weight to handle your bikes.
