View Full Version : Custom hitch to clear rear spare tire
Here it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Overall this is the solution I have needed since I got the H2, with the tire on the rear
The chains are there so I don't have to extend them on every trailer I need to tow. Also had custom 7-pin male to 7-pin female and a 7-pin to 4-pin cable extensions made to ensure the wiring on various trailers is long enough to reach.
New hitch had to have lots of drop for my low profile RV. Left room on hitch to be able to drop it 1 more inch since I will add 37 tires later on. Also welded on custom skid plate to the bottom of the hitch shank so when I back up and run into cracks in the concrete, I won't get stuck on the cracks.
The entire setup is very strong and heavy duty. Shouldn't run into any more problems hitching up to various trailers, and spare tire hitting the trailers' jack.

Good thinking!
