Wow haven't posted here in a while. Need to get back in here more often.

I've read all the threads on adding a hitch but I'm unclear on something... I have the Mopar Exhaust. Will the Mopar hitch work or will that only work with the stock exhaust?

Towing a 6x10 enclosed trailer for a race kart, tools , etc. Not more than 2000# total.

It will work with the Mopar Hitch. I dont have the post where I asked the same question and got photo proof! I have the hitch still in a box LOL need to get this thing on. The Mopar hitch will work even with the Borla S.. so Im told.

I have the Mopar exhaust too.

LOL Thanks CHAD!!!! It was you that convinced me to pull the trigger 8 months ago on the hitch... still havce not installed it LOL. Summer is coming so I had better get on it.

Did you by any chance do the 'mod' on the Mopar hitch to make it more 'solid'? What I read some member did here has add a thin piece/strip of steel to fill in a gap somewhere between the bracket and the body. Apparently by doing this, you can increase the tow capacity.

Thx for the info. CNM which ball mount did you go with? The height looks good.

The receiver comes with the hitch, you just need the ball.
