Hey there... Anyone have any suggestions for raising the rear hitch location? I'd like to elevate it higher. I use a hitch carrier for my dirt bike and I'm hoping to get a bit more departure clearance when cruising over the washes. Rack prevents bed loading.. I found a bumper + hitch option from Westside Offroad Group (WOG) that raises the hitch 4.5 inches from stock, but was curious if anyone had any other ideas or experiences.

Still would like to use and figure out a location for all the rear parking sensors and trailer plug-ins... Thanks!

I have the rear rpg bumper because I wanted a spot for my reverse s2s and wanted to retain the backup sensors. It raises the hitch substantially, although you trim the frame side brackets a bit.

While I wouldn't try to tow max weight, you won't have any issue with a dirt bike carrier.

I just had SVC install their rear bumper with integrated hitch. Check it out. The pictures don't do it justice. It looks so good in person. Very happy I got it. It costs less too!

Hey 06z... Nice looking bumper. I would like to do something like that.
My question is what did you do to the exhaust? Did you trim it under the bed, or did you leave it stock?

Thanks for a reply.

Trim under the bed. I am going to see my local muffler shop for some turn down tips.
