most all tow bars are 5000 lbs max. our blazers n trucks are more than that.

yeah that what i thought but i have seen guys pull ks before but just trying to get some input thanks
I made my own Tow bar after reading tons of threads about it.
My thread: http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279568
Be advised that the law requires break assist when towing more than 3500lbs in most states.A standard "Break Buddy" runs about $1000. (You could find a good flat trailer for that cost.) Hydro boost brakes complicate this even more.
They won't pull you over & check; but if you get in an accident you may be held liable.
Also you will need to make sure you can flat tow with your drivetrain. I was told if I flat tow with an NP208 I would tear it up unless I disconnect both driveshafts.
A pic of my Tow Bar:
There are towbars out there that can haul up to 10K lbs but they also cost about the same as a used trailer.
