This is my monster of a tow hitch

Its a Haymen Reece. Its the only set up I could get that is the perfect height for my boat & trailers, and still provides the full 3500Kg rating.
Other drop down type bars were either too high or rated to 2500Kg maximum.

My wife calls it 'The outboard motor' ha ha.

Cheers, Craig

Maybe its a limited thing but mine does not cut out that much of the bumbper at all.
The top of mine sits where the bottom of Cherokee30D's is.

Looks like it was just a push out and not a cut.

Mine is a 3500kg by 350kg rated bar.

Ill get a picture if you guys want when i get a chance

Looks like a tiller or scarifier plough. I guess they do say the Jeep pulls like a tractor.

You would get hung up trying to get up my driveway with that set up.

Interesting.
My old "Best Bars" one was almost as low as you describe, interesting.
A photo would be cool if you get a chance

XJ2NV's post a while back sounds like his Hayman Reece is lower than my best bars one in the first photo... so I wonder if it's the same as yours?

So far I've heard of WH bars coming from "Mopar" (no manufacturer as far as I can see, sitting the highest, with horizontal safety chain tabs and lower drawbar limit.), Best Bars (sold as genuine Mopar option, sits about ~50mm lower with diagonal chain tabs.), and the Hayman Reece unit which I don't think I've seen.
