Hey Jonathon, for an application like that you'd want a Draw Tite hitch like the part # 41990-07 which has 7 inch drop brackets or the part # 41990-16 which has 16 inch drop brackets. This is a higher capacity hitch with side brackets that can be welded in place at the correct width to fit your frame. Beyond that we don't have anything designed specifically for this type of application.
