Thread: Towing in the IX with a JDM bumper

  1. #1

    Default Towing in the IX with a JDM bumper

    Installation wasn't a perfect fit but it's functional and good enough for what I'm wanting to tow. The hitch actually pushes the bottom of the IX JDM bumper slightly outward but you can barely tell. 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer U-haul class I hitch with no modification whatsoever. $305 OTD at U-haul in yuba city CA.

    I think it would if you used an adjustable shank (piece that fits into the receiver) that drops down below your bumper. Something similar to http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/33...showimage.html

    Otherwise, you'll need to cut out a hole through your bumper and move your license plate upwards or relocate it somehow. There's a guy on EvoM who had a very nice setup he custom made that could be hidden when not in use. http://forums.evolutionm.net/welding...er-set-up.html
