    Nope, I've got one. It is mounted on another tube that slides into the receiver. Has a light now and everything. I posted the other pics to show the receiver since the OP was asking about a hitch option for different bumpers.

    Yep. Used these from Trail-Gear. Worked out perfect with my custom bumper.

    I would think so. Especially if you just need to lift one corner of the truck. The rear end of the truck is not that heavy compared to the cab and front half. If I needed to lift one side of the truck, then I'd jack at the slider. If I needed the whole rear of the truck to come up then jacking at the main section of the rear bumper. But I think those are easily strong enough for jacking one corner.

    Really looks good! I like the way you tied it in with those trail gear pieces. Did you make the brackets to mount the square portion of the bumper?

    I used the factory bumper brackets. Cut them down a little and added some gusseting. It's been solid so far, even with towing my small trailer. I may add some additional bracing behind the reciever, but I'm not sure it's necessary with how I use it.
