Towing Hitches
The Right Hitch, Installed Right
Choosing the right hitch is crucial for safe and efficient towing. We install hitches for every level of towing:
- Class I & II Hitches: Ideal for light towing (up to 3,500 lbs), such as bike racks, utility trailers, and small loads.
- Class III & IV Hitches: Great for boats, campers, and medium trailers (up to 10,000 lbs).
- Class V Hitches: For heavy-duty towing like equipment trailers and large RVs (10,000+ lbs).
- Gooseneck Hitches: Designed for serious loads and commercial hauling; mounted in the truck bed for extra stability.
- 5th Wheel Hitches: Preferred by RVers for smoother rides and enhanced maneuverability.
- Weight Distribution & Anti-Sway Hitches: Crucial for balancing loads and preventing trailer sway.
Our experts help you choose the best solution for your truck and towing needs.
Brake Controllers

Frequently Asked Questions
What size lift is right for my truck or SUV?
It depends on your goals. For aesthetics, a 2–3 inch lift is common. For off-roading or large tires, you may want 4–6 inches or more. We’ll help you decide.
Are custom wheels and tires included in lift packages?
Yes, we can build all-inclusive packages with suspension, wheels, and tires tailored to your driving needs and style preferences.
Do I need a brake controller for towing?
If your trailer has its own brakes (which many do), a controller is required by law in most states — and is essential for safe, smooth braking.
