I had Borla 2.5" duals and a Hidden Hitch on my 2002 Dream Cruiser. Everything went in OK, but the installer said, "Uh, you didn't want to be able to get to your spare tire, did ya?" The Hidden Hitch receiver combined with the dual exhaust pipes really eats up the spare room and makes it almost impossible to get to the tire.

I now have the OEM Mopar hitch on my 2004 Turbo Dream Cruiser and it's much simpler! It installs easily and fits right up inside the bumper trim making it more "hidden" than the Hidden Hitch ever was. It also tucks the receiver in closer so my luggage rack actually follows the body line like it was supposed to. The whole installation looks a lot better, and there's still plenty of room for dual exhausts and the spare tire.

The wiring harness for the OEM hitch is also a lot better because it deals with Chrysler's rather unique 3-wire system, which drove the installer crazy with the Hidden Hitch. But beware, the Mopar wiring harness can set you back almost as much as the receiver hitch itself. But, to me it was worth it.
