I'm looking at getting the Torklift EcoHitch Stealth 2" hitch for my 2013 Outback. I would be using it to carry bikes with the Thule 916XTR rack (2 bikes) or with the Thule 918XTR (4 bikes). If I'm carrying 4 bikes, the bike weight alone could be around 120 lbs.
I know the rack will support this kind of weight, but does anyone know if this hitch needs stabilizing straps to support this kind of load? I've seen some other hitches, like the Curt, that say a bike rack should be supported with stabilizing straps. Thanks.
