If I am not mistaken our single receiver is tied into the frame , so how is this 3 point receiver attached ? did you have Larry weld it above the existing receiver ?
Maybe Ed will tune in soon and let us know what he thinks . I was over Ed s place a few weeks back and I ordered the overbuilt receiver , I have no idea what it looks like or how to go about having it installed . If it isn't to cold Corey , can you take some picks of how yours is welded and where ? I might not be so lucky to find "Larry the Welder ".

Al,
I didn't use the Overbuilt receiver, I had Larry the Welder build the inserts for the lift by welding them into the existing hitch cross member. It simply replicates what Overbuilt is sending you, but I was able to have the receivers a few inches higher than the Overbuilt or David's set up. This seemed a good idea as I've seen the hitches bottom out and put big stress on the rear structures.

Al,
It is too cold, but for you I would do it, but......my coach is in Florida now. I drove it down to my building where there is power for the winter.
