I bought an 02 XLT 4-door 4x4 and it has the standard 1 1/4" hitch. I want to upgrade to a 2" hitch, but all I can find is piggyback style ones. Some hitches say they mount beneath the OEM hitch. Are there any available to replace the 1 1/4" setup? I really like how its integrated into the bumper, so I'd rather not just add something below it.

Thanks
Greg
 






Has anybody upgraded their 1 1/4" to a 2"?
 






I'm sure it can be done. But, I don't have a 4-door so I'm not sure. Have you asked your dealer?
 






Ask the dealer. You can get a 2" on the 03+ models from the factory.
