PullRite Hitch Doesn't fit my Y2K

This weekend my RV dealer tried to fit a new PullRite Hitch (the type that piviots near the axle) and it would not fit properly. Dealer followed instructions and got it bolted-up, by their was interference with the differential at the hitch pivot point. During bolt-on, the interference was not evident, but during road test, I found the rear suspension bottoming on road bumps. On inspection, found that when the rear axle moves up on a road bump, it dings the pumpkin on the rear axle. This is a Dana 80 differential, and maybe pullrite checked fit with Dana 70, like the AutoTrans uses, but this set-up doesn't work. RV dealer will try to see if PullRite has a design for the Y2K 6-speed on monday. The model number of the Hitch I tried to mount is 0070 (its listed for this application). I hope I can find a solution that retains the hitch piviot near the axle, I like the concept.
