The previous owner of my truck welded this thing that was used for an anvil onto the trailer hitch
. Can I get away with just cutting the piece of metal off and using the hitch, or do I need to replace the hitch? On the hitch it says, "Do not cut, drill, weld, or modify this hitch." The hitch is rated for 3500lbs weight carrying and my truck is only rated to tow 2200lbs, so its not like I will be maxing the hitch out or anything. Did this weld compromise the strength of the hitch much? Thanks
