question for those with Torklift hitch 48" set up

For those with the Torklift hitch 48” extension, do you think the setup can safely transport a 520 lb bike on a 100 lb bike rack safely? It won’t be taken offroad but it will have to be strong enough ...

I think your weak link is going to be hitch and suspension.
Look at my topic about new project, where I build a rear hitch crane to carry about 1000 lb sculpture.
Even my dually carries 6000lb TC just fine, the 1000 lb about 8 feet behind rear axle squat the truck quite a bit.
Your 600lb bike is going to be about 10 feet behind the axle. Just that weight alone can bottom-up your suspension, while you still want to carry big camper.
