Ok, so i got a 3 inch performance accessories body lift, a leveling kit, helo maxx 6s, and 35x12.50/18 tires for my pickup. I have a 2004 F-150 FX4 screw, and i was just wondering if there is a way to move the hitch up. With the body lift it sits way down where you can see it and i really don't like it. Plus, with the hitch being down like that, i can't move my exhaust tips up, so they hang down as well. I was just wondering is there was a way to move the hitch up. Thanks!

 

prolly not, your hitch is connected to your frame
personally i would keep the bumper at normal level and make something to cover the gap between that and the tailgate

 

check out this link. this company makes hitches made for body lifted trucks

lets see some pics!!!!!!!

 

Well there isn't a hitch on there made for an 04-06 F-150 that i saw, so i will just figure something out. My uncle has been in the autobody industry for 40 years, i will ask him what he thinks i can do. I will get the pics on here soon. I unfortunately hit a deer a few nights ago and it is at my uncle's shop as of tomorrow morning. I will get the pics on here as soon as i get it back. I saw a silver F-150 on here somewhere that had a 3 inch body lift and a 6 inch suspension lift. His hitch was tucked up close to the body. It was a new body style like mine but i can't seem to find a hitch for a lifted truck, so i was wondering if there was a way to do it yourself or something.

 

unbolt the existing hitch, cut it down to size. If there is enough material left drill new holes, or just weld it in. Or like he said, there are companies that make hitches for a body lift. Also, leave the bumper where it is, find a peice of 1/16" aluminum diamond plate sheet and cut a peice to fill the gap.

 

i have one on my 00 f150. and it is nice. here is a site thats sells hitches for body lifts. it says to call for updated lists.http://www.expressdistributing.com/c...2.htm#Bodylift

mine

 

Thanks everyone. I think i will cut it down and use my existing hitch. That should work out fine for me as i don't pull that much with my pickup. I just have the hitch in case i ever need it for something.
