i am looking for a 10 inch drop hitch... anything beyond 6" seems to be very hard to find... does anyone know where i can go in the general area of the SFV? the only place that i found so far wants 75.99 for a regular steel one painted black...
ORU had billett aluminum ones that looked trick as hell, the 10" was only 79.99 but now they are out, and they said they cant get ahold of the guy that made them
any suggestions??? i would really like to find where to get the billett ones if i can, if not, i just want to try and get a better deal than 75 bucks:(

A few months back, I saw a trick billet drop at Outlaw Offroad in Lake Forest. They may be able to help you out.

Brother.... I have a 10" adjustable hitch for duramax that is billet with a 2 5/16 on one end and 2" on the other... it is completely adjustable and billet, it can handle up to 12,000lbs and 1500lbs of tongue weight... but I am at work until sunday, you know on a 72, but I will get you a picture and a name and you can check them out---

Hitches Online $53.00 http://www.hitchesonline.com/drawbars/special_mount_main.htm#ADJUSTABLE
But if you need it quicker a custom hitch shop or custom 4x4 shop.
I use mine upside down to make up for the drop behind my camper and my Jeep's high front bumper. I get a 9" rise.....

they're the ones that want 75.99 for a black steel one that is only rated at 5000 pounds...
i found the aluminum one , i ended up finding the manufacturer. its a place in idaho called andersen manufacturing. the guy there gave me the number of a place in thousand oaks called garrett custom trailers...
so i went to T.O. and and bought it for 75 bucks, the same price as the steel one from eckhart, kind of a no brainer:rolleyes: oh yeah, it's rated at 10,000 pounds
