Sorry for the confusion, If you just bolt the OEM hitch up to the OEM cross member it may not fit just right. That was why I said some fabrication might be required to get the hitch set just the way you want it in relationship with the pan. Too bad I have all the bits and pieces you need but I'm flying out in the morning and will be gone for a while.

any fabrication place could fabricate something that will work you just may have to pay a lil more for it....

Actually, bolting up is not going to work at all. It will require custom fabrication. I was thinking vertical hieght only. The OEM hitch will also be sticking out too far to the rear. The simplest would be to have a shop fabricate the reciever in the location of your choosing. I have seen these 2x2 recievers available at trailer shops. Auto Zone, maybe even Wally World. The shop should be able to get it right for you. I'll be back in the spring. Modding season for me is officially over for the mean time. Good luck.
This is going to stick out too far..



OEM cross member



Good luck...
