hidden hitch for '02 standard length Astro.

[ryanhettenbach]

I'm looking for a class III or IV Hidden Hitch for my '02 AWD, standard length van. I can't seem to find the correct part number for my van, only the extended wheelbase van.
The only one that I've found is this...

Can anybody help or suggest a suitable replacement for the Hidden Hitch?

thats the one ,they stopped the shortys around 94 all are extended after 95 i think.

[ryanhettenbach]

really? that's the first i've heard of that.
i thought the LT were the extended versions?

[tbhager94]

nope lt is just trim group.

All 1995 to 2005 Astro and Safaris are extended length. The wheelbases are all the same at 111.3". The extra 10" was added to the rear.

Check out the set-up I have on my '98.

It provides the class V strength hitch along with the DPS system for serious attachments. I got it to carry my motorcycle.

Combined with my rear AirLift set-up, I can carry a bunch of weight off the hitch and completely avoid any sagging. I think the most I've had back there was about 600 pounds of Harley!
I've towed a two axle car trailer loaded with a car and had no problems either. To be able to adjust the rear height with the bags is really beneficial.
