Question:
Hello, I am looking for a Class 3 trailer hitch for the rear of my 2012 wrangler Sahara that will bolt to the frame rails and not the cross member. Do you sell that type of hitch, l only see the ones that bolt to the cross member. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Hey Bill. The only custom fit hitches available for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler are ones line the Curt item # C13392. It mounts directly to the rear crossmember. The only option I have for a hitch that mounts to your frame is a universal one like the Buyers Products 2" Platform Body Hitch Receiver - 62" Long with 9" Mounting Plates item # 3371801051.
Why are you needing a hitch that mounts to your frame?
