    Please stop posting threads without searching. Both this one and your recovery one have been previously covered.

    What you also have to consider is the spare tire. If the hitch receiver goes to far back then it will fowl on the spare.

    I've been thinking about getting a plate with the pintle hole pattern welded to a receiver that sits forward more with two supports off to the chassis. That way you can get a goose neck tow ball hitch and still keep your pintle, just need longer bolts.

    Ok been busy this morning, got some pics and info. The place is SA Trailer and Chassis Equipment, Ph. 0882627170. Email sales@satrailer.com.au or website www.satrailer.com.au .

    For some reason its not letting me load pics.
    Ok so description, its solid square steel where it fits into towbar. It has a braced plate welded to it about 12mm thick. It has 8 holes in it to attatch the pintle hook. The shaft is about 40 cm long and has a hole for the pin. Their special price is $55 + gst. This one ismade by a different manufacturer. It weighs about 6kg. They also do their own receiver for $77 + gst. They have the pintle hooks here also, 10 tonne for about $140, or the combination ball and pintle rated at 3.5 tonne (ball rating) for about $161. Prices are all plus gst.
    Hope this helps

    Cheers Rod
