    you shouldn't have any issues if just moderately offroading, FWIW a frame can flex a little bit...don't want it too rigid I'd think...

    Is twisting on some of the harder Moab trails considered moderate? Haha. I don't absolutely NEED the clearance but it would be nice..

    That's fair and seems fine with me.

    My main reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking of cutting up my stock hitch receiver for both clearance in preparation for Moab in a few weeks and because eventually I'm going to have someone make a customer bumper welded to it that would get rid of the middle hanging part anyway. Below are the cuts I plan on making (the red lines). The green lines follow the thick tube that connects each side of the receiver and houses the receiver itself. The blue lines are a would-be platea of the top portion of the future bumper.

    Yeah, that def. needs some trimming up, looks a little obtrusive...

    @Spvrtan do you have time to have a shop cut the hitch off the mounting brackets, and weld a straight piece of metal in? It'll act as a brace but keep it high clearance. You'd still be able to unbolt it when you have your bumper built if you re-use the mounting brackets since you can unbolt and remove when that time comes.

    I don't have time to go to a shop for welding work. I can cut it with my Sawzall myself and I figured I can temporarily bolt in a thick 1/4" plate on OEM holes at the top of the receiver to somewhat hold it together.
