If you want to make the basket a permanent addition, why not weld a couple of braces, at an angle from the basket to hitch receiver assembly?

What class is the receiver? I believe that the weight limit is for the Monty frame, not the actual carrying capacity of the receiver. Keystone doesn't want frame twist. Side to side stresses are not good for our frames, while up and down stresses seem to be much more tolerable. By putting a 1 1/4" receiver on, with a weight limit sticker of 250 pounds, Keystone is trying to prevent the towing of things like additional trailers or cars, which put alot of side to side stress on the frame.
