phenryiv1 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Regrettably, I am selling a hitch that I bought to use on my LB MJ but my aftermarket bumper is in the way of the mounts. I looked for one for months and finally found one, however due to my bumper I cannot use it. This is a Hidden Hitch brand, which mounts UNDER/INSIDE the frame rails and not on the side of the bumper mounts like the other hitches. (See pictures.) This will ONLY fit LONG bed models. I contacted Hidden Hitch and got the pack list for the hitch and purchased all new fasteners to attach this to the truck. The new fasteners are included. I am asking $150 PLUS SHIPPING for this, complete with the fasteners. I have FedEx and UPS accounts so the shipping price won't be terrible. I will also pack it up myself so no shipping store charges.

Keep in mind that on my truck it cannot sit flat due to interference between the brackte and the bumper. If I removed the bumper it would sit much more flat to the bottom of the frame rail. There are 2 OEM holes on each side that are re-used (with the new hardware) and one additional hole that must be drilled through on each side. I have the hardware for the new hole/mount in the hardware pack. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
jimoshel Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I have a almost identical hitch on a '86 long bed. Perfect fit. Wondering why yours does not.
TheDude Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 He said he has an aftermarket bumper. So, i guess it has more mounting points.

carnuck Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Someone on the AMC forum was looking for one with a nice bumper too.

He said he has an aftermarket bumper. So, i guess it has more mounting points. The aftermarket bumper interferes with the brackets. It is minimal interference, but I don't want to grind off the mounting bracket and unfirtunately the spot on the bumper where it interferes is a reinforced portion of the bumper (where the attaches to the bumper mount) or I'd just use a 5 lb. persuader to add clearance.
phenryiv1 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 How much shipped to 27520? Looks like only $30 via FedEx.
