88 Suburban Hidden Hitch

[SCOTT CLEAVER]

From everything I have read and searched I still cannot find a manufacturer of a hidden hitch. I would guess that most folks dont run a roll pan on the back of a Suburban but i can clearance a hole for the hitch using the factory rear bumper. I hate how low the class 3 hitch hangs with a drop kit. Anyone have an idea other than building my own. Not gonna do that work anymore.

I know you said you dont want to build a hitch, but what about modifying a class 3?

I used a Draw-tite 41938 (class 5) and modded it to use with a drop down tire carrier. You can see how it mounts - its right up against the bottom of the bumper. I would think that could be used with a roll pan to hide it.

You must not have a 40 gal fuel tank? @SCOTT CLEAVER

I would really prefer to find one ready to bolt in if available

It’s around 30 I believe

Ok, that makes sense then. I was thinking to myself "where the heck does this guy think he's going to fit this hitch" lol, but then I remembered there were Burbs with the smaller tank.

But do to the high production rate of Burbs with a 40 gallon tank, I'd be surprised if anyone offered a hidden hitch that would only fit the rigs with the 31 gallon tank. I believe you will have to make one. It can safely be done with a 110v mig welder in the 140 amp range.

What kind of loads do you need the hitch for? I forgot that part.
