I want to cut the frame and weld in the factory hitch like some have done. I'm worried about two things and I'd like to hear from folks that have done this.
1. When I cut the rear of the frame off, what's to keep the rails ainged? It seems like this procedure would instantly misalign the frame for welding the hitch in place.
2. The hitch is not as tall as the frame. This seems like it would adversely effect stability. I feel like welding some gussets to add support would be a good idea.
...I'm mostly concerned with #1!
