it’d be cooler if it was a requirement, that it would have had to actually have towed a vehicle to the track to qualify. ---

I was thinking the same with my Jeep… once I get the harness activated, I’ll probably be towing my brother’s pig around so we can both race. ---

I have a custom class IV hitch made specifically for the truck. Exhaust is stock. I’ll post pics from the phone, BRB.

Interesting solution, seems to work well. Do these have the cross member with the 4 bolt holes like the normal GC’s have? Its to bad the exhaust comes out in the middle. ---

I’d have to see the crossmember you’re referring to to make the comparison. MOPAR sells a hitch for it, class 2, and it hangs from the same bracket as the exhaust and only that bracket, which I believe is the same bracket as the other GCs (in addition to the sub-frame like mine.
