Drop Hitches
Hey guys. I was wondering if someone knew of a good site for a drop hitch for me. I've got a 99 PSD w/ a 6" lift kit on 37's... Now its an early 99 w/ the 4" block instead of late 99 w/ 2" blocks, adn I did do the full 6" spring in the back.
What i'm looking to find is something thats not 300 bucks if possible, if thats all there is so be it.. but i've got a 6'x12' inclosed that I'll be pulling for my dirtbike and stuff, and I need to get a good strong hitch for it.
Thanks

All the best drop hitches that I have seen have been homemade. I have used some store-bought models but they did not impress me. If I ever need another one I will go to my local fab shop. Also don't forget that you need to make some arrangements for safety chains too. If you ever borrow a trailer the chains may not reach.
On another note I am curious to know if you got the SD up and running? What did you find that was keeping it from starting? I have seen the pics in your gallery and you definitely deserve to have that thing up and running.

That's exactly what I have in my toolbox. Two extensions to allow the chains to tie in to the frame of the reciever on one end and the trailer chains hook on the other end. My truck is stock hieght though so I RARELY need them.
I do use clevis bolts on both ends, I just trust them more than the snap links and quick links

Rapid hitch makes some trick items. I have their adjustable drop hitch, pricy but worth it to me. They have fixed drop hitches that will work and they are no outragous and will not rust in Michigan winter.
