I have one, and need to modify it for better ground clearance and to clear my spare tire.

Excellent idea.

Question: What is the max load such a rack could safely transport?

Some of the manufactured racks say 200 lbs or around there.
I'll be testing this one i made out around that weight when we do the old mojave road trip in a couple of weeks.

Ok, stick about 300#'s in it at the far rear, get someone with a video camera to film you doing a hardcore wheelie. Take the shot from a front angle so no one sees the carrier.
