IMHO, if you can find a clean stock hitch they are the best fit. I replaced my rusty stock hitch with a curt which is solid but the receiver sticks out 4 inches right at knee cap height. However, It does give you another spot to step up on when loading anything on the roof.I’m looking for a bolt on hitch for my 1991 Land Cruiser. What is the best option ?
Yes I will be towing. What about the draw tite hitch ? I hear it’s more beefy than factory. Will the doge factory hitch still work with 31” tires ?
I doubt the drawtite is beefier than factory. The factory one is really beefy. The only reason I took mine off was to gain 2” of receiver height with an aftermarket option, but the aftermarket does stick out further.Yes I will be towing. What about the draw tite hitch ?

Should only be one place it goes.....Anyone have the install instructions for the OEM hitch? Bought a used one, and trying to figure out what goes where, along with buying new hardware of course.....
@BILT4ME can you tell us which is the proper grade bolt to get?
Yeah, way different than what us Yankees have.So - from what I can figure so far I need for the chassis 6 x 'M12x1.25' 40mm to 55mm depending how big washers used, and of course putting the spacing plates between towbar and chassis. Apparently random if there are captive nuts or not on chassis rails - due to how many tie-downs attached at factory. So may need washers / nuts for some.
Not sure if this is Europe specific (photo attached of towbar when on donor vehicle) for 4 holes on bumper - top is M12*1.25 40mm to 55mm as captive nuts there. I didn't see the removal as bought it and it was shipped to me. Lower ones no captive nuts, so need same bolts but add washers / nuts behind.
Planning on going 55mm length all around as plenty of space, and as per advice above. And for sure 10.9 grade.

I found it very difficult to find locally, Zinc plated, 10.9 Grade, M12 x 1.25, full threaded, 40mm+ size bolts.
I believe that 50mm is too much even with the spacing plate.
This is the only place I found and I had to have it shipped.
