Anybody got a hidden hitch?
Im lookin for a hitch that will fit behind a roll pan but still allow me to keep the spare tire and be rated to carry about 8000pounds. So far I havent found anything like what Im looking for. Anybody got any suggestions or have one?

All the ones I have looked at are rated alot less. Unfortunately, the way it mounts probably prevents it from having a good weight rating. I know sir micheals has a hitch, but it is rated lower.
If you find one, let me know. I have been keeping my eye out to no avail.

I need something atleast 7000#s cause Im going to be towing a 26foot enclosed trailer with 3 1000# 4wheelers(they are big heavy ****'s) with all the mandatory camping equipment and generators and a couple of dirt bikes. I know what you mean OCBC they are all freakin wimpy tow ratings. I realy want a roll pan for the weight savings and looks but the tow hitch cant go and it would look goofy with a RP.

I use to have a sir michaels hidden hitch towed a 26 foot ski boat to arkansas and back no problems. They are good desgins you will have to get a smaller spare or just throw your fullsize in the bed.

boats are about 1/2 the weight of a camper trailer loaded down with toys. i pull about 7500lbs when we head out.
