    I like it. Can you still tow a trailer with this kit?

    Looks cool, but I have a retractable Retrax truck bed cover.

    My bad, I didn't see it in the photo. Seems like a swing out is going to be your only reasonable option.

    I too have a Retrax, also wondering if there is a hybrid bed rack tire carrier sport bar that can be installed into the XR rail slots.

    Just added toolbox and roof-rack to haul my fishing boat 100's of miles into the backwoods every week. Goodrich K02s, Bilstein 5100 front and back, no lift.
    Not a 35, but mine is bolted into the bottom of my toolbox. Some extra security too. I have tried, and I cannot fit bolt cutters into the space where the bolts are visible. I will add a third bolt as well for added security.

    Hitch is hidden behind my license plate that flips up.

    With the back up cam, the cable is routed along the swing out so it stays plugged in all the time. Only one I have with it open.

    When I went up to 35s, I ended up having to put the spare on the bumper as well. However, I did find a bumper carrier that works with the back-up camera, so that might be an option for you. I've seen some people also do custom bed-mounted carriers, but that can be a bit pricey.

    So I’m a little confused here. The stock trailer hitch stays installed, but it ends up being behind the bumper and the license plate? And what you have inserted in it is something you purchased elsewhere and it’s just an insert?

    That isn't the stock hitch: the stock hitch is removed with the stock bumper and the new aftermarket bumper has it's own integrated hitch at a different location.

    Went with the Dirtcom for mine. So far so good. A little bit of rust spots that have popped up on some of the accents, welds or exposed metal parts. Still very clean and has been very functional. Tows well too.

    On a different topic a lot of small mfrs want us to pay in full and wait. I am not comfortable with this either because so many small companies can go under and the customer gets screwed. I've been eyeing a new RTT and they want me to pay in full(3k) for a possible July delivery. It's coming from South Africa. I love the small shops, but there lack of stock on anything is very frustrating.
