hidden hitch for '02 standard length Astro.
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?

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.

Re: hidden hitch for '02 standard length Astro.
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.
