AS for drilling the top or bottom of the frame..It would be a big no no if you need a dot number.. but for most guys it doesn't matter..And thats only an issue on tempered frames ..But you need to really look into the laws and regulations before selling them to protect your butt.. The offroad...

I would use 1/4 or3/8 plate cut into triangles.maybe like a 6 inch square cut diagnally put right in. The corners

One place you might think of adding a triangle gusset is where the vertical tube meets the the cross tube .Running them from the tube towards the front of the truck would really add strength to the welds and help keep the vertical tubes bending in an accident.I'm looking at pic #4 page one...

All i am saying is over build it and i would see what it takes to break one..because it isn't just what happens when things are right but more about what happens in an accident that will be the big test.Looking at the design i would be most conserned about the way it handles tongue weight and...

probably best just to build it and put it in the classifieds..I'm sure someone will buy it.. If you want to improve your design its best to do it before selling them.. Cuz if it fails and someone gets hurt it could hurt your pocket book in a big way..At the very least i would make up some decals...

i got rid of my bumperettes to make room for the pivot bar for my dump kit..I also moved my pintle down to clear it to ..This is the second disgn hitch i have put on my truck and i already want to sell it and make me a hydraulic wheel lift-hitch for the back instead

The main thing i would do different with your design is i would make the vertical leggs solid to the cross bar.. I would weld them to it this would keep the cross bar from trying to roll under the loading and unloading of tongue weight.Also it would help keep things from rackin from side to...

I'm not saying you build junk.it looks well built.I just think you were low on the weight.bathroom scales don't do good weighing things like that.I would use the weights from the book to calculate the weight.or weigh yourself then weigh yourself holding the hitch close to your body to get a more...

4x2 1/4 wall weighs 8.81 lbs per ft. 2x2 1/4 wall weighs 5.41 per ft. ..

NIce job.. i like the rear hitch but love the front hitch...64lbs for the rear seems really light ?I did mine with a 2.5x2,5 reciever tube and a 2x2 tube running side to side with 3/4 x3 flat bars running up to the pintle hitch and it weighs just over 80lbs..You have more tubing and weigh less...
