You happy?

Yes. Looks very solid and looks like it will protect rear boots from debris while backing.

I ordered one myself.. I liked the thought of a he owe 2" receiver and raising the hitch up.

Thank you for the photo, I wanted to see what the hitch would look like on the 500/520. You experience since putting it on. Has replacing the OEM lower arms bolts made any difference?

I put one on my 500 last year…with a hitch hauler it’s great more ground clearance and will haul 400lb with no problem. I also move the trailer’s around with no worries of breaking the hitch. Great mod if you need the hitch!

Any idea what the tongue weight the 500/520 can handle?

Stock hitch 2-3 hundred lbs…modified hitch 5-6 hundred lbs. If you’re going to pull much of a load adjusting the shocks definitely helps. I also pump my tires up to make it stable.Just redneck estimation! Stopping what your pulling is the biggest problem.

Awesome. I ordered the hitch just now. Going to use the combo bar for light duty stuff. Thanks again for the info!
