Best Hitch for the $$$ 10 Months, 1 Week ago  
OK Guys...

Just found out today that I am gonna be home sooner than I thought ! You have seen me on here askin about hitches etc. The plan is to fab one up myself this fall using the pics and stuff I saw on here at RSC. IN THE EVENT...I run into problems or get to a point where I dont want to continue my DIY hitch....I am asking YOU ALL...who has the best hitch for the money? The few I have researched are 300 bucks +!

Thanks in advance and will keep everyone in da loop on my project. I am praying for as much riding weather as possible in NC!!!!

I don't know anything about hitches but it's good to hear you're coming back early.

Congrats! Hope the time goes fast for you. Don't wanna put Ironman in a situation but he's fabbed some premier inner hitches so far. Did my own but I extended it off the the subframe. Not really hitch quality but worked great for flags and such.

Curt,

I copied the pics off of Ironman's post on here where he fabbed his own and i am gonna use that as a guide. That post was the only thing I could find here on RSC. I also saved a copy of your plans for Lowers...hope you don't mind!!!

For the money, it's a great hitch. Very easy install, mostly hidden by my bags, does what it's supposed to.
