Hi Phil,
With that much of a drop needed for the receiver we're a bit limited in what we have that'll work.
I think your best option is the Curt Class V Universal Weld-On Hitch part # C47CR. It's a 2" hitch that has 9" drop and fits vehicle frames that are up to 44" wide because the side brackets are adjustable, so it'll work perfectly for the 39" frame on this truck. It's rated for 1,600lbs of tongue weight and 16,000lbs towing, which exceeds the amount the truck can haul from the bumper, so it's more than strong enough.
What are they planning on using the hitch for?
