Bike rack suggestions requested..

I've never seen the strap you're describing, it may not have been available when I bought my rack. Where does it attach?
It attaches to the the front 'lip' of your trunk. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a link to the strap I'm talking about: Curt bike rack stabilizer strap
Supposedly, Curt (hitch receiver company) recommends this strap any time you're using a bike rack with one of their 1.25" hitch receivers.
I've bought all of my racks off eBay, I actually had 5 king cobras and cross bars and locks on my popup and loved that setup, I think the retail cost was well of $1500 but of course actually affordable if you're selective on eBay - the trick is to find something without shipping, especially with heavy items like bike racks.
I kinda stayed away from eBay and things like that when getting this rack, because I knew it was impossible to know for certain if all our bikes would fit on it or not until I had the rack and could try it. Because of that, I needed to get it from places I could easily take it back/exchange for another if it didn't work (hence the reason I bought from Dick's Sporting Goods). 'Tis a good thing I took that approach, because I tried 2 other racks that wouldn't work before settling on the Thule that does.
