For you guys that have put a DrawTite or any other aftermarket hitch on, did you get the frame stiffners like the OEM hitch has? I am going to be towing with the Xterra and was wondering if I should get the stiffners along with the hitch. I'll be towing a trailer with a Suzuki Samurai, and then down the line will probably just flat tow the Sammy without a trailer.

Thanks,

Jason

I have the draw tite for a 4 bike hitch rack and rarely used popup trailer.

I have read much about the frame stiffners and would myself get them if I was towing anything more or even snatching people out with the hitch.

Just a thought here..
I had a draw tight with slightly oversized tires. The fact that the draw tight didn't angle back as much as other hitches, forced the spare tire into the back of the dif and the cross over brake line, causing rubbing against the brake line against the dif. I was able to move the brake line up out of the way, but eventually replaced the hitch with one that angled to the rear more. There is a trade off there regarding departure angle.
