I have an 02 Sport with warrior 153 shackles and I wanted to get a hitch for it. I did a search and didnt find much about shackles with hitches on the Sports. Which hitches would fit without hitting the shackle? If you have pics can I please see them too. I also have a 16" full size spare (I read that some hitches dont fit with full size spares).
Thanks

You couldn't find anything about hitches and shackles because it is a non-issue. If a hitch was going to interfere with the warrior shackles it would also interfere with stock shackles.

The spare also isn't an issue unless you're running bigger than stock tires.
 






I am looking for a hitch that will clear the shackles. I tried a square tube Reese hitch and it wouldnt clear.
 






I have a U-Haul round tube hitch on my 99 and there are no problems at all with my warrior shackles.
