    Truck looks great!!!
    i don't pull much but i'd be curious to see how you get your hitch to work. You should get paid royalties from these guys!! because you have sold me on the rear bumper.!!

    Awesome bumper Kyle! Looks great! Did your rear lose any height from the added weight?

    Why did you cut the hitch off? Should have been easy to take off and put new bumper on. You did not know that the bumper and factory hitch dont work together?? kyle did not tell you? Thats why I added it to my bumper and sold factory for $100.

    I didnt hae to cut the hitch off, I had to cut it so I can use it with the bumper, It was easy to just unbolt the hitch and bolt up the bumper, When I asked kyle if they work work together he said thay should, I am re workin my hitch so it will work, I emailed kyle about this already.

    Wish you the best. I'd hate for you to go through more trouble already than you already have with GETTING the bumper.

    Why don't you have a shop weld a reciever hitch to the bottom of the bumper?

    Thanks man, I think im goin to buy the hidden hitch setup looks like it would work and be alot safer, As strong as I think the bumper is I dont want to pull on a highway with it, Rather be safe then sorry

    Keep your current hitch and sell me that bumper. I'll pay for the shipping too! I don't need a hitch that bad... :)

    I think that is a good call. Just find a good shop who knows what they are doing and I am sure that you'll be fine. :)
