    The same shit everyone else has.
    I’m struggling here….

    Wanna relocate my 7 pin trailer plug to behind the license plate and use a flip up/down plate holder to access.

    But for the life I me, I cannot find one of these plate holders with the springs for a reasonable price.

    I’ve seen a handful of trucks with high clearance bumpers/hidden hitches use these same style plate holders.

    Any suggestions on where I can find one a little more reasonably priced?

    Close, but not exactly what I’m looking for.

    The pivot points are in the wrong spot since it’s designed to cover a roller fairlead.

    I could modify this if need be though to fit what I need.

    It was a tip. The tip was to go on eBay and search for what you need. There’s many to chose from.
