Luckily I won't need to adapt, but I wonder if the height will be ok w/o a riser. I don't want to decrease the capacity any.

LOL guys!

 

Exactly why I bought the stepped adapter . To raise the receiver up.

 

I personally wouldn't put much past 300lbs on the rear. The ass end would squat a lot if you had 500lbs on there.

 

I don't plan to put more than 230 lbs on the back - and only in town. I've carried the chair IN the back with two sets of batteries, a cooler, our bags, and the three of us and I didn't notice any difference in the ride or height of the vehicle.
