a maximum hand, so you should do your best to find a bid. If partner bid
a major suit and you only have 3 card support for him, it is usually still

suit bid with 3 card support.

Can you stretch a bid ?
If you doubled in balancing seat it will often be necssary to 
stretch a little bit as parnter is playing you for a weak hand

you should probably raise anyway.
Or if you have a long suit and 15 or more and 17 or more
you should probably bid it.
