    Maybe mount it to the side of your gas can racks?

    @Gply How about a bracket right under the license plate? Might not have the best view, but maybe if angled right you can get it decent.

    It's not that bad. Eventually, you get them out of diapers and they become useful.

    I mounted mine right above the license plate in the little cut out for lowering the stock spare. Made a little mount that spaced it back under the bed and centered it. Works pretty well. The view is still slightly blocked but its better than nothing! Nice looking truck!

    More shit then I ever planned on doing
    It's actually open in the center like a receiver hitch so I thought about fabbing something but then though about how fricken heavy the spare is if I had to take it on or off and the chance of breaking the camera.

    Tried that but I'd have to extend the wires cuz they have to come through on the hinge side.
    Oh and the bracket we got from Billy vanished. Think one of the kids got to it.

    If I mount it anywhere around the liscense plate I won't be able to flip the plate to access the hitch. If I mount under the plate it'll get taken out for sure when wheeling.

    One other option is in place of one of the liscense plate lights but have seen it done and the glare at night makes it almost impossible to see anything.
    Gotta do something quick cuz my wife almost backed into the neighbors new Jaguar F-Type SVR. :eek:

    I am going to stick with 16's and 315's. I will just use spacers. I am going to steel rims, the best I can find there is 3.75 backspacing but am sure I will need more. With 285's I am running 4 of backspace without issue.

    I think you can find a better idea for your hilift, then you have that huge space right in the middle for your camera. With that reconfigure your stock camera will fit right on the money.

    During the season it's mounted on the bed rack (like Blakes) but with the soft topper on for winter I gotta move it to the bumper.
    I've got all pro mounts for the bed rails but not a big fan. The brackets actually bent from vibration (I'm guessing).
