I was wondering if I would be able to put a receiver hitch on my pickup without having to redo my exhaust. I think my exhaust might get in the way but i'm not sure. I would like to find out before I buy one because it's either I have enough money to redo the exhaust or buy the hitch. Does someone make one that will fit? It's a 98 5.2 4x4. Sorry for the bad pic, it was taken with my phone.

 

sorry, but your hosed. the receiver hitch will hang directly below the frame rails - same place as where your pipes are. i'll look for, or take a pic tonight.

 

yah it wouldent be much to fix thow, just 45 or 90 your tips out the side

 

yah send them at a 45. looks good done that way.

 

Just bought my truck and am also looking for a receiver hitch... all apps say "except dual exhaust." Looks like 45's the way to go, your pipes gotta clear the frame rails east and west. FWIW, the pic was just fine!

That sucks. I like how my exhaust is done. I was thinking I'd have to get it re-done. Just gotta figure out how I want it now. I don't like the out the side look, the 45's I've seen on a few trucks but never a dodge and not sure I really dig that either. Looks like I'm out of options.

 

Here is mine out the side

Or keep the exhaust coming out the back, but move the tips away from the frame rails. My exhaust comes out where the leaf springs are:



I know, I need to get some tips.

 

hmm i just thought of something, i fabed up a custom rear bumber for mine and build a recver hitch into it and it wouldent interfrear with the tips, ill take a pic of it tonight

 

i have my pipes straight out the back, but my hitch is between the frame rails. sucks b/c i have to take the license plate off to access the hitch thru the bedpan
