hey guys...

I've had the body lift on for a while now and I want to add a rear hitch. But... there will be a huge 2" gap between the bumper and hitch right? Has anyone found a way around this? Can you weld a hitch onto the frame in a location that it doesn't look to bad??

Does anyone have pics of the gap between the hitch and bumper? Any suggestions? Thanks!:bounce:
 






Go to Dead Link Removed An update to what I posted there, my hitch is off and at my neighbors house. He is going to cut the tube from the two mounting plates and rotate it up under the bumper. He will then cut the receiver box off and rotate it so it is parallel again. He is only going to charge me about $30-$40 for the supplies. He is currently finishing up a rail that he is building though, so once he is finished with it, he will do my hitch. I looked at the rails frame that he built and it looked like it came out of a factory, so I'm not concerned with the quality of his work.
