I was thinking about the max tongue weight that a class 3 hitch is designed to hold, which is 500 lbs. Between the bike and the trailer I bet that you are at or over 500 lbs. I'm not concerned about your suspension, or the truck squating, the concern I would have is that the hitch itself is designed for pulling front to back, not movement up and down.

In all reality will any thing ever happen? Probably not, but the design does warrent a second look.
