Mooring Product,
You're going to have serious issues with overheating. I did the exact same thing on my drawtite hitch on my new Ram. Temps were 20-40 degrees over normal for both coolant and oil. Don't even think about taking off on a long trip without some other way to carry that rack WHEN it starts causing overheating. Mine ended up inside the camper being shoved in and out every night.
The high mounted front rack works great for firewood or something like that on a basket. A motorcycle, box, or bicycles is just way too high.
