i want to put an air suspension on a new expedition im looking at but cant find a way to do it on a 4wd so if i get a 2wd is there any way i can mount a reciever mount winch on a 2wd frame. warn says they are different and there are no 2wd applications but is there a way to custom fab something that will work good and be just as rigid.

 

Try HiddenHitch.com Part# 5011 may be what you need.

You doing the reciever in the front or the rear?

If the front, some of the best fits (and sturdiest units) that I have seen, is to have a local welding shop make you a 2" recieiver mount, and they can put it pretty much any where you want it.

If in the rear, make sure that you get a minimum Class3 2" reciever (I personally think if you are doing that, its worth the additional few $$s to go Class5 in case you decide to tow large trailers later).

Beyond that, any 2" reciever will hold any 2" mounted winch. Too big a winch housing, there are 2" hitch extensions available at most hitch shops.

As always, good luck and take pics to post.
