I'd be more concerned about the receiver and the carrier. 600 lbs hanging off on 2" square tube would make me nervous.

Look closer
Dry weight a nub over 500 lbs-- load with out side cases and very little fuel--much closer to 500 then 600. Also have THREE receivers! I truly can't tell its back there and it only drops the rear bumper 3/4 in when loaded! I also keep the van water tanks empty when traveling and store the beer towards the front. It's a great set-up!

Bitchin...............
Does your Sprinter have Dual Wheels in the back? Is that a custom hitch you fabricated?
Drive Safe and CYA in Billings I'm sure,

Yes
Yes it has duals And the lift is called a Versi-Lift manufactured in OK I believe! The only problem I have is the receiver bars dragging a few times on every trip. I need to modify them slightly to eliminate the problem! It's on my-- one of those days list! Have been on three very long trips to date with no issues!
Also would help ifin I had alittle more lead in me--- at 140 lbs-- unloading isn't easy BUT I can manage! The front tire sits in a over-center cage and it takes a good pull to get it started out! Don
