I just installed a Hidden Hitch front hitch on my 2003 Liberty Renegade. The hitch is two piece. What kind of draw backs will I have? Has anyone used it with a winch?

Should be no problem, I went with the Drawtite due to the tow loops welded on both sides. Drawtite is harder to install though. I think the rating of the hidden hitch two piece is slightly lower, But hitches have a 100% failure rating which means it can support twice it's rating before failure. I wouldn't exceed the rating but I doubt you could break the hidden hitch.

I would worry about pulling it out of the frame before it breaking.

Stupid uni-body. :roll:

Likewise. That Hidden Hitch is a tough piece. I bet you'd tweak the unibody or break something else before either hitch gives in.
