I looked in the owners manual for your 2013 Chevrolet Suburban and it can be flat towed or dolly towed, depending on if it's 2 or 4 wheel drive, and if it has a single or two speed transfer case.
If you suburban is 2wd or has a single speed transfer case, it can not be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground, and can not be towed with the front wheels on a dolly.
So if your Suburban is 4wd with a 2 speed transfer case it can be flat towed (all wheels on the ground) or dolly towed.

So your tow package harness terminates in the spare tire area behind the bumper, correct?
If that's the case, I'd recommend using part # HM40975-11998 which includes a combination 4-pole/7-way trailer connector, a mounting bracket and a pigtail that will wire up to your existing tow package.
The pigtail uses a different wiring convention than your tow package harness, the pigtail connects as follows:
• Red pigtail wire carries left Turn/brake lamp circuit
• White pigtail wires carries... view full answer...
I have a better solution for you, you would want the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Item # Y36FR. This rack will attach to the shank of your cargo carrier that is in the hitch of your vehicle. I attached a review video for you to check out.
The Swagman Original - Folding 4 Bike Towing Rack # S64675 that you referenced does not have an additional hitch opening at the end of the shank so a cargo carrier would not be able to install into it. view full answer...
I checked the owner's manual of your 2016 Chevrolet Suburban 3500HD and there is an issue with using snow tire chains on your vehicle, with these tires. Your tires are larger than the tires Chevrolet says you should not use with snow tire chains.
We do offer snow tire chains that fit those size tires, such as the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K79, part # KON24FR, or the Glacier V-Bar Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners... view full answer...
What you can do is switch the wheel cradles of your Swagman bike rack for the wheel cradles of the XC and you would have cradles that can handle tire widths of up to 3-1/2 inches.
For that you would want the Replacement Wheel Hoop # P189 sold individually. view full answer...
Your best option is going to be to get an entire new system, by the time you basically replace everything but the chain hangers a new system will make more sense than piecing everything else together.
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue... view full answer...
It sounds as if you have already taken care of a few issues that can cause excessive trailer sway. Eliminating some of the weight on the rear of the trailer can certainly help. You will also want to make sure your trailer is as level as possible when towing. Move as much weight as possible forward of the trailer axles. The ideal weight distribution would be 60 percent on the front, and 40 percent on the rear. If all this is taken care of, and you still experience trailer sway, you will... view full answer...
I do have a potential solution for you, however we don't have a folding license plate holder available that you could use in different orientations, whether your hitch-mounted carrier is down for use or folded up against the rear of the vehicle.
The best option I can offer is to simply use a single license plate bracket like the Optronics # LPL55CB. You can use some wing nuts, washers, and bolts for mounting that let you easily move the bracket/plate when needed. You would drill a couple... view full answer...

The towing capacity of a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 LS can be as high as 8,400 lbs but the exact towing capacity will vary by options so be sure to take a look in the owner's manual. If the loaded weight of the trailer does not exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle then you will be safe to tow.
That said, it sounds like you could be towing toward the upper limit of the vehicle's capacity so in which case you'll want to use some suspension enhancements alongside the weight distribution... view full answer...
That would depend a lot on the shape of the nose of your trailer, but if it's a standard trailer with a decent amount of clearance between the coupler and where the rest of the trailer starts the part # TLE1524 that provides 24 inches of clearance would work just fine.
Otherwise a 32 inch long part # TLE1532 would be a better choice if clearances are tight on the front of your trailer. view full answer...
Finding the correct ball mount rise and drop takes some measuring from the ground to the inside top of the hitch receiver and then from the ground to the underside of the trailer coupler when the tongue is level. I've attached an article to assist.
If you want to have more adjustability or will possibly tow other trailers, then I recommend using an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10037B. This is a very popular... view full answer...
The Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray - Aluminum - 84" Long x 54" Wide, part # Y05048, needs a roof rack in order to attach to your 2007 Chevy Suburban. Your vehicle's roof either has raised rails or fixed points, so it has two separate roof rack fits. Each option has a maximum weight limit of 165lbs. Please keep this in mind because the weight of the rack and the accessories are part of the maximum weight limit and the LockNLoad Platform weighs 70lbs and the roof rack will weigh approximately... view full answer...
The Derale Transmission Pan Cooler, part # D14207, will install in place of your factory transmission pan. You can use the factory transmission filter on your 1999 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD 7.4L engine.
The Derale # D14207 pan cooler is larger than the factory pan and will increase the fluid capacity by 4-1/2 quarts, but will not require a deep filter adapter because the fluid will be around the cooling tubes at the bottom of the pan. It provides additional cooling by using the cooling tubes... view full answer...

If you have power on the blue wire of your brake controller but none at the back of the 7-way that would mean somewhere between the two places you checked there's a break in the circuit that's preventing it from making it to the trailer wiring connector pin. Most of the time this is because of dirt on the pins of the 7-way which can be just sanded off easily or it's broken wire between the two areas that would require you to trace the circuit back to find and fix.
