I have a hidden hitch on my 98, will lift shackles still work, and can I still tow??

I put a hidden hitch on my explorer, you know the one that tucks up under the rear bumper, will the warrior lift shackles still work on there, cause the way it looks now, the shackles are close to the hitch now? So will they still work, and can I still tow my boat with the shackles on there, cause I have to tow my boat..

As far as i've heard, no one else has had problems. My hitch comes down even with the bottom of my shackles and i've never had a problem. You'll be able to tow just as good as before, good luck with your new set up!

Happy trails!!
