• We have a few bolt-on hitches that could work with your 1989 Ford Cutaway Van Chassis, if the outside to outside frame width is around 42 inches. You'll also want to measure for the drop you need.

• Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter For Flat Towing That Offers 10" Of Rise/Drop
• I went ahead and took a look, and it appears the closest I was able to find is the: -Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2" or 10" Drop/Rise # RM-077-10. This dual hitch receiver adapter can give either 2"-10" of rise or drop depending on the application, has a gross towing weight capacity of 10,000-lbs, and has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 400-lbs.

• Lowest Ball Mount Drop Available for a 1-1/4" Hitch Receiver
• The closest we can get you to that setup is with the following: - Brophy Anti-Rattle Drawbar # BR39FR (6" drop) - 2" Hitch Ball # 19258 You'll have a really hard time finding an 8" drop for a shank that fits a 1-1/4" hitch receiver simply because that hitch receiver size is weaker than a 2" or 2-1/2" receiver so you don't want there to be the possibility for that much torque. As long as you have your ball mount within 1" of your towing setup being level you'll be good to go, but I'm...

• Weight Distribution Shank For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch With Drop For Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch

• Solution For Carrying Bikes on Tear Drop Trailer Where 6" Drop Ball Mount Is Required
• I have a solution for you, and normally the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 would be the best solution for this since it wouldn't reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch. I don't recommend any type of dual receiver with a drop because doing so would reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by roughly 50%, so that would limit you quite a bit. If you've got a tear trailer with a straight tongue then I recommend using the Hitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers...

• Choosing Correct Weight Distribution Shank
• To determine the amount of drop you'll need your replacement shank to have, take a height measurement from the top inside edge of the receiver tube to the ground, then measure from the bottom of the trailer's coupler to the ground (make sure trailer is level when taking the measurement) then subtract the coupler height from the hitch height. The result is the amount of drop you'll need. We do offer weight distribution shanks for 2-1/2 inch receivers, and the hole spacing for the weight...

• Which Ball Mount Needed for 20111 Silverado with 3-1/2 Inch Lift
• The hitch height of a truck can vary widely according to the tire sized used and the presence and height of any added lift. The best way to determine which ball mount is best is to take a couple of measurements as described in the help article I've linked for you. Measure the distance from the inside top of your hitch receiver tube down to the ground. Then, jack the trailer so the frame is level to the ground. Measure the distance from the bottom of the coupler down to the ground. The...

• Hitch Needed for 2004 Ford Cut-Away Van Chassis
• The three inch drop needed is going to be the problem. All the hitches we offer for the 2004 Ford Van have a 2 inch drop, so unfortunately your bumper would be in the way. Your best bet would be to either have a hitch fabricated or to have some fab work done to the underside of the frame to add 1 inch of drop so a hitch like the 14053 you referenced could be used. You, or your welder would be on their own to do the engineering work to ensure a Class IV weight capacity. If a Class III...
