Recommended Bolt On Hitch for a 2002 Thomas Saf-T-Liner School Bus
Question:
Hello, I am looking for a trailer hitch for my 2002 Thomas Saf-T-Liner School Bus. The frame hole spacing is 37 on center. You have anything to recommend? Im only interested in bolt-on installation.

Expert Reply:
I've got two bolt on options that will work with the 37" frame on your bus. Both of them are listed as weld on however there are predrilled holes in the brackets along with steps in the installation instructions that allow these hitches to be installed without welding. Which one you need will be determined by how far down your bumper extends from your bus's frame. You'll need to take a measurement to determine how much drop you have. I have listed them below:
7" Drop - Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 41990-07
16" Drop - Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 41990-16
