It could probably aid traction a bit...Well that bracket looks heavy duty
Yeah this hitch is compact. No issues. I saw my CAD file the other day. Maybe I can do some screen shots to show the dimensions.Thank you. Part of what I was wondering is where to best clear the LX exhaust and gas tank. It’s tight back there. If a stock convert can handle minor towing, the B springs, upgraded sway bars and shocks/struts should be good to go. Post bookmarked and pics saved.

I never understand responses like this. This isn't something "my friend said he used to do" or a theory of something to try that "might" work. I built it already. I pulled decent weight already. The design of this part came from the company that made them for Fox bodies and that I use to install for people at my shop. It was a mustang only shop that I started when the Fox first came out.I bought some parts from a fellow last year. We got talking about the cars he is parting out and how long he has been doing that. He said back in the day he would pick up project/parts cars using his Mustang and a car dolly.
I think the best solution is the frame mounted type of hitch and then if needed come up with a receiver that will offset under the GT skirt and put the ball at the correct height. If you can't find a kit, try a trailer shop. They can usually build a hitch to suit as well as a receiver when given the correct instructions.
I am chilled and it's not past my bedtime. I just ate too much peanut butter again!Yo Wayne, take a chill pill. I was not cutting up or bashing your solution.
I was expressing an option (custom make it) that is a version of something I have seen on an SUV where the framing and hitch was tucked up behind the body cladding. The receiver would come out, go down under the body cladding and up to the appropriate height for the receiver ball.
I am one of those that believes anyone who cuts holes in the GT rear panel for a hitch or exhaust tailpipes (get a Cobra bumper cover is you want to see you tailpipes) should be shot and forced to eat there own innards.
I believe there is a solution where you can have a light duty hitch, not see it normally and it be fully functional. I also believe (and based on your hitch solution I think you do too) that if the aftermarket can make something, I (we) can make it as good, maybe better, likely cheaper and have a whole lot more fun and satisfaction doing it ourselves.
I don't know if you lashed out because its past your bedtime (I know it is mine), but relax. Take peoples ideas for that, an idea. Accept that others have good ideas too and you may be able to make them better yourself someday (as we all strive to do).
Thank you and good night.
Nope...not new at all....I built mine 20 years ago...lol.Oh sorry, I guess this is not a new idea. Someone on 4eyed Pride already did it a few years ago.
Trailer hitch - Page 3
Anyone have a hitch on there car? Looking for one for my 86, need to pull a small trailer for racing tires. Where does it mount? Pics? I try looking them up, but mounting instructions never match the pic. Think it is ok to attach one to where the rear bumper bolts on? (not sure how strong...vb.foureyedpride.com

shouldn’t we be towing with something different?
better yet, buy your wife a truck.
