FAQs
What is the towing capacity of this hitch?
This Class 3 hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight. It also has a 5,000 lbs. weight distribution capacity and 500 lbs. weight distribution tongue weight, limited by the lowest-rated towing component.
Is this hitch compatible with all Jeep Wrangler models?
No, this hitch offers a custom fit specifically for select model years of the Jeep Wrangler JK and JL. Always confirm your vehicle's model and year against the product's compatibility list.
Can I use this hitch with any bike rack?
This hitch is compatible with most 2-inch receiver bike racks, but it is *not* compatible with vertical hanging bike racks or racks that require bikes to be mounted vertically.
How do I clean and maintain the hitch's finish?
Clean the hitch with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically inspect for wear and consider waxing the finish for added protection against the elements.
Does this hitch come with a ball mount?
This product is the trailer hitch receiver itself. A ball mount and hitch ball are typically sold separately and must be chosen based on your towing needs and trailer height.
What does 'Class 3' mean for a trailer hitch?
Class 3 hitches are designed for heavier-duty towing and typically feature a 2-inch x 2-inch receiver opening. They have higher weight capacity ratings compared to Class 1 or Class 2 hitches.
What are the benefits of the dual-coat finish?
The dual-coat finish, combining a liquid A-coat and black powder coat, provides superior protection against rust, chipping, and UV damage, significantly extending the hitch's lifespan and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Hitch does not fit vehicle correctly.
Verify that your vehicle is a compatible model year for this specific hitch. Ensure no obstructions are present on the vehicle's frame mounting points and that you are using the correct mounting hardware as per the installation guide.
Rattling noise from hitch receiver.
Use a hitch anti-rattle device or a locking pin with a snug fit to secure accessories within the receiver and minimize movement.
Rust spots appearing on the hitch.
Clean the affected area with mild soap and water. For minor surface rust, a rust remover product can be used, followed by touch-up paint designed for automotive applications. Reapply wax to the finish for added protection.
Accessory does not fit into the 2-inch receiver.
Ensure the accessory is designed for a 2-inch receiver. Check for any debris or damage inside the hitch receiver and clean if necessary. Confirm the accessory is not a type specifically excluded from compatibility (e.g., vertical bike racks).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This hitch is designed for a custom, factory fit on specific model years of the Jeep Wrangler JK and JL. Installation typically involves bolting the hitch directly to the vehicle's frame using existing mounting points. Consult your vehicle's owner manual and the hitch's installation instructions for detailed steps, torque specifications, and any required hardware. Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with automotive work.
Compatibility: The receiver size is a standard 2-inch x 2-inch. It is compatible with most 2-inch trailer accessories such as ball mounts, cargo racks, and hitch-mounted bike racks. *However, it is explicitly stated as not compatible with vertical hanging bikes or bike racks that require the bikes to be mounted vertically.* Always ensure any accessory used is rated for the hitch's capacity.
Care: To maintain the hitch's finish and prevent corrosion, regularly clean it with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder coat. Periodically inspect the hitch for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. For the dual-coat finish, a light application of wax can help further protect against UV rays and environmental factors.
