i believe your truck can handle it.....i was just warning you so you knew this wasnt going to be a bunch of road driven, 100% stock trucks with just a fueling box and a air intake.....

u just need at least a 3 inch opening for the hook, and have it sit to the hitch height limit, and maybe make it adjustable.

and the closer to the hoop is to the axle the better.
