Here is a easy fix for a light duty hitch if you have a body lift.

It's all available form Tractor Supply for about $50. Look in you're mail, I had a $10 off coupon!

It bolts right to the rear frame crossover with the U bolts. The U bolts are designed for a trailer axle so they are plenty strong.
I did have to use a 1" metal spacer above the axle because the U bolts were a little long.I dremmeled the holes elongated to fit the U-bolts.
I tested the tongue weight by lifting the entire back of the Sportage off the ground with it. It didn't move.
The part #s are Reese #8137833 Step bumper receiver hitch and part # 514 1/2" u-bolt axle mounting kit.
If you want to try it or have a question, message me.



And, oh, yeah, if you think it was a dumb idea and I'm going to break something.......message me too!
