Hitch that will work with Helwig Big Wig

I just installed the Hellwig Big Wig sway bar on my truck. It looks solid and can't wait to see how it performs.
I will need a hitch ext approx 24" to tow behind my Lance.
It looks like the plates to hold the sway bar to the frame may interfere with the forward attachment points for an aftermarket hitch.
I pulled up the install instructions for a 20k Curt hitch and don't think it will work without modification with the Big Wig.
If anyone is using both on a new Ram, what hitch worked for you?
Or any other info would be great.
Thought I saw something about the Super Hitch having attachment points that allows the sway bar to bolt to the hitch rather than brackets to the frame?

    Now that I think about it my Super Hitch did come with new brackets for the sway bar. It must have been so easy installing it that I forgot. :)
  • Yea, what he said;
    The torklift hitch has instructions on how to incorporate with the Big Wig sway bar. I have both, started with the sway bar, then added the hitch. It was spelled out how to do it with the hitch instructions.

  • I have a regular Hellwig sway bar (not the Big Wig) and a SuperHitch. No interference. Not sure if the BIG Wig mounts differently though.
