I was curious if that cad drawing was for the 2wd or 4wd frame?

 

my truck is a 4x4, I do not know if it will work on a 2x4 or not.

 

If you want to get a custom bumper built with a hitch built in send me a pm, we can build you one at the shop i'm working at.

 

That sport Trac makes me want one!! haha I love tht thing!

 

Very nice Mark! Thats what I was looking for, thank you.

And that Sport Trac is sweet! Thats exactly what I want the front hitch for.

 

04 EDGE, if its 2x2... then what are you using for the piece you put into it?
thats why im using 2.5x2.5x.250 so the ID is 2"...

 

im curious because i have about 200$ im willing to spend on a hidden front reciever hitch but on modbargains it doesnt have one for a 98-00 rangers now this realy floats my boat... so what should i do just buy the one made for the 01 and hope it works?

 

i'd make ya a beefy one, but shipping would kill you :D

 

I ended up just calling a local trailer supply shop. (check out RV/motorhome shops too).

They have them for all years of Rangers.

 

My buddy Dusty08 has a Curt front hitch he ordered it from JC Whitney. It looks really nice.

 

ya my dad owns rv collision down here in mobile so im pretty sure i can get a deal for one ima start calling around thanks for the info

 

the hitch from JC Whitney was great! I was able to get it shipped to me quickly, and they seemed to be very good. While I did have an extremely frustrating experience with ModBargains (https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=67458), I'm sure they don't consistently run into those types of problems. As far as the Curt hitch is concerned, however, I'm really pleased with it.

 

i just got one from the local trailer store. had to order it, but at least i got one coming.

Modbargains FAILED on the hitch for me too, lol

 

I've seen people drill a hole in the receiver, weld a nut over the hole, then thread a bolt through the nut and snug it down so it is pressing against the hitch firmly. Depending on how much play you have it might make it a little crooked but it works and it's pretty easy.

 

I saw that this thread was about 2 weeks old but i just put on a Draw Tite one and i have a 3 in bodylift and I hate it it hangs waaaaayy to low i think i am going to cut off the reciever piece and reweld it on the top of the main brace instead of the bottom

 

I have the same problem, i have a BL as well, so custom is the only way to go, think you can put up some pictures when you do this? or if you have already done it? if you havent done it yet, think you can get some of the bumper off with how you mounted it too?

 

I will soon be posting pics of a BL'd truck with a STOCK unmodded Hidden brand front mount hitch....
