Bolt across the engine cradle from underside, then center the reciever between the cradle frame, that creates a slight off set hitch allowing you to see the edge of your tow at a glance, tows strait had one for years that way. | ||

A hitch on an Eagle usually requires a change in the exhaust system. Most end up dumping behind the pass side drivers. | ||
