Question:

I have a 2006 Silverado 2500HD w/ 8 ft bed. The bed is an 8ft utility body built by Reading. There is big steel step bumper on the back. I cant seem to find any hitch that will work with my setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Expert Reply:

Since you have that utility body the custom fit hitches for the 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD will not work. What you will need is a weld-on hitch. I have included a link to the options for you. A hitch like # 15902 creates a drop of 10.865 inches from the truck frame.

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional welder.
