Receiver hitch for an FG in USA.

[kerry]

Anyone know if there's a source for a 10k lb receiver hitch for a 99 FG? I added a hitch to the step bumper on mine but I'd like to get a serious hitch for occasional hauling. Do I have to get one custom made?

I couldn't find a bolt on 10K hitch but it was a simple matter of buying a stock hitch & cutting & re-welding the cross bar to fit the FG frame rails. So two cuts & two welds...kinda of a custom I guess...As an example -

I think it was about $300.00? $200.00 for the hitch & $100 for the modification.Moe

I did the same as Moe. Can't give you a cost as we did it when I was doing the original build. Basically, cut to size, pound to fit, weld in place -
works fine. I use a combo Pintle, Ball hitch to cover all my trailers.
