KK Hitch on a KJ .....finally

[tommudd]

After cutting the bottom off my rear bumper the old KJ hitch hung down too low.
By accident we found out that a KK would work with some modifications to the rear of the KJ
So I finally found a used MOPAR KK hitch and installed it last night
Keeps it tucked up nice and tight now, but even with a 3 inch drop hitch the top of the ball is still at 22.25 , all 3 of my trailers sit level at about 20-20.5 inches So will have to get a 4 inch drop

What were the mods that had to be done to the KJ to get this to work?

Besides cutting 4 inches from the bottom of your bumper? There is a pinch weld that runs from one side to the other in the rear you have to cut and bend it over in two places ( 3 inches wide each side) Also the KK hitch you can only install two bolts in it like it is so you'll have to weld 2 pcs of flat stock to the front of the hitch for the two most forward bolts to go into, that way you'll have the three bolts per side . I have the metal to weld mine up, but only have two rear bolts on (2 on each side) in right now.
