They won't install the hitch because they can't figure our a work around.? Offense intended, that's the job of an "upfitter", to make it all work.
Installing a flatbed is not rocket science and doesn't fall under the heading of engineering genius needed.
As Bedlam noted, very common for some fab work needed to get a Superhitch installed. Trading or sharing a bolt hole just isn't a game stopper.
I'd find another fab shop.
To be fair to the upfitter, it's not about being able to do it. They can do it. They just aren't willing to do it from a liability reason.
As much as I may not like that, in today's world of lawyers and lawsuits, I can understand that.
Modifying and installing a hitch that is rated to tow up to 30,000 lbs has some risk to it that they just don't want to deal with. It sucks for me, but I can't blame them.
