Front hitch.

I had a C3500 that had a Class Three welded on. Carried a 5K generator on front with no problem while carrying a slide-in camper on the back. Only problem with welding, was working on the front end stuff. It was in the way often.

Not sure about a Class 1. I would want something more substantial in-case it might break.

Well, thats that, then. Im not welding it. Thanks.

I'm not worried about the hitch breaking. More the Carrier or the front hook bolts. I appreciate the reply.

I figure Id be lucky to have 100 - 200 lbs on it. And use it 3 times a year.

I heard they flop around a lot. And was wondering if them flopping around would snap a bolt or fold the carrier. If you had a gen on one, I'm sure I will be ok. They all say 500 lbs max.

Thanks.

We have a class 3 bolted to the front of one of our rigs. It is normally used for winching with no problem. 6 bolts on it with a pair of braces off the front bolts to other spots on the frame. We have used it for a carrier a couple times. No problem They do flop around a bit. The easy way around that is a couple small brace rods off the corners up to a stiff spot. Maybe the header panel or add a couple tabs to make easy access.

Thanks.
