Re: what to do before welding. &. beefing up hitch
Reply #2 –
The Hitch Center in Morgan Hill, CA. or Gilroy that beefed up many rv hitch systems I sold, towing horse trailers, would weld steel plate below the entire hitch assembly, to raise the carrying capacity. I would only use a professional hitch center that fabricate and install hitches as their business, so as not to end up with a weaker, instead of stronger towing solution.
