While I am new to the DT line, what towing I have done with my 36TK3, it would concern me deeply about the clearance of ANYTHING that would hang below the bottom on the rear pan. Several times already I have been close to dragging the tail of my trailer on commonly-traveled streets and roads. It seems to me, if the frame can support the weight, any hitch would have to come thru the rear pan (bumper) area, not hung below.
One of the things I plan to do is to raise the spring locators to the lowest position to gain ground clearance, even tho I don't plan to tow behind the trailer.
