As promised, when the weather was good and it was on the ground, some pics of my car hooked up to the David Lee tow bar bracket for flat towing.
Yes, I need a 4 inch drop on my hitch, but that will come this week. Just a mock up and a quick tow around the block....everything works as it should. Even my lights work as previously advertised.

I re-read it and see you were planning on getting a drop hitch. Just wanted to make sure you knew about the problem - I was very suprised that my 1800 pound car could lift my truck. You might want to think about some serious mud flaps for the burb - your car will be filthy by the time you get to the track and probably stone chipped as well. My Rabbit was a beater so I didn't care but yours is very nice and it would be a shame to tear it up. |
