Can any of you guys that have trucks with coil springs and the aux spring or helper spring and a frame mounted tow hitch please post pics of how the hitch mounts to the frame with the helper spring bracket mounted there.

someone, anyone?

They seem mutually exclusive if you are talking about a receiver hitch, at least an off the shelf unit. Probably going to have to have a custom hitch made that will straddle the spring mounts to be long enough for the torque box loads.

Thanks SS Tim, Just thought someone out there had this set up and wanted to see a few pics of the diff options to mount a hitch

Don't know for sure. My Suburban had a large dead weight hitch that mounted to the frame and the bumper. Ran air bags too, without aux. springs.

Can the thread title be changed to "Aux. Springs and Hitch options needed"?

ive ran the same setup with the overloads and a hidahitch, i cut the bottom off the overloads where they bolt to the frame so the hitch could be mounted to the frame, worked out just fine
