    I tow a lot, several boats and trailers, the biggest around 4,000 loaded. I would like to retain the factory hitch if possible.

    He may be able to do that for you, but I wouldn't count on it. I'll post pictures of mine.

    armor tech bumper (bolt on, not the high clearance) allows you to use the factory hitch afaik.

    I am waiting on my high clearance.. with integrated hitch, but flush mounted so i can put my plate over.

    He tried on mine, but had some issues. I told him do whatever would work.

    Yours must be the one he's going to send me some pics of. He said they would not work with the factory hitch. My only concern would be with the shearing force perpendicular to the bumper caused by the tongue weight. I'm looking forward to checking yours out.
