Expert Reply:
We don't offer a bolt-on hitch that would offer the capacity you're looking for, but we do offer some weld-on options that would get you where you need to be.
In order to choose the correct hitch, you'll need to determine the amount of drop you need by measuring the vertical distance between the underside of the frame members and the lowest point of the rear bumper. You'll want to choose a hitch with a drop greater than your measurement. For a 3 inch drop, use # 15901, if that's not enough, you can use # 15903 which provides up to 10 inches of drop. The hitches fit frame members up to 44 inches apart.
