I want to see pictures of hitches on jeeps. I have a 2000 stock Cherokee and I know I want a class III, NOT tube, and one that doesn't hang down to the ground. all the pics online are just of the hitch so i have know clue what it will look like on the jeep.

Thanks for the help!

 

not the best pic, but you can see my hitch just below the rear bumper...

 

ok it's an older 93 XJ, but this class 3 Draw-tite has seen its share of pulling loads over 5500lb, stuff+trailer from FL to WI.. 1800 miles and even with the proper tongue weight and distributing the load evenly.. I wouldn't try it again.. but I was desperate to take all I could when I moved. Jeep took the run like a champ and I'm grateful for her. Man the 17's need a bath too

 

Stock XJ:

 

Thanks for the pics! It helps a lot,
Any one now where i can find a stock hitch to buy? or at least one that looks similar (what brand?) that's the look I like. really close to the bumper.
I wish a junk yard around here had one!!!

 

Since our XJ does not have the factory tow pkg (most don't), just thought a class III would be extra weight/overkill. Went with a U-Haul class II (3500 lb) for $110 and called it good.

 

Hidden Hitch. Only the receiver hangs down and is visible.

 

whats the difference in having the stock tow package?
is it only gearing and a tranny cooler?
I think it will be worth the extra $20-30 bucks to get the class III and later if I want to tow bigger IL get a tranny cooler.

 

with the stock towing package you got gearing and im pretty sure a dana44

 

Got mine at the Junkyard for $30, can be from any year XJ. Be sure to get the nut strips from inside the frame rails.

Also factory XJ tow package was Hitch, Wiring and delete rear swaybar.... Gearing and HD tranny cooler and HD springs are seperate options..... Dana 44 non c-clip - 30 spline, 1.31" diameter shafts, 8.5" ring gear, 2.75" axle tube - used 87-89 on some(not all) XJs equipped with towing package.

 

So looking into junk yards... I found a hitch on a 94 I think im going to get its $45
so I need nut strips...anything else?
