¹ Concessions have been made for extra ground clearance and a sleek appearance and you will need to adjust your equipment accordingly. Depending on your setup this may mean longer drop hitches, wiring extensions, etc...
² Designed to support the loads of the factory tow capacity, but carries no SAE certification, nor is it designed to meet any DOT or FMCSA regulation.
We produce these products in a low volume compared to the OEMs or aftermarket receiver hitch companies. As such, it's not feasible for us to get this product tested against SAE J684 specifications or design it meet specific DOT or FMCSA regulations. So while we try to over-engineer our products with the loads of the factory vehicle capacity in mind; towing a trailer on public highways is at your own risk and we make no claims on the legality or viability of doing so. We cannot offer any recommendations on capacity beyond this. If the ratings of the factory receiver hitch are important to you, we would recommend choosing a bumper that keeps that in place.

Q Bob Eibner • 01/20/2022, 6:33:17 PM Will a 35" spare tire block the OEM backup camera?
A 01/21/2022, 11:40:44 AM Yes, it will, or at least a good portion of the field of view.
Q tony rinker • 03/06/2022, 11:00:15 AM Is the tow rating and tongue weight of the receiver hitch the same as factory? If not, what are the numbers? Is a hitch extender recommended or needed to clear the spare tire?
A 03/11/2022, 4:19:23 PM These are designed to support the loads of the factory tow capacity, but carries no SAE certification, nor is it designed to meet any DOT or FMCSA regulation.
Q Timothy Busch • 05/01/2022, 6:04:51 PM I love this bumper. The hidden hitch is what makes me want to buy it but I have 39” tires. If you have one that can accommodate up to a 40 inch tire I would be interested. Or if this one could be modified let me knows. Great looking product.
A 05/04/2022, 1:53:17 PM The carrier can handle the weight in theory, but the problem is the tire would block most of the taillight.
Q Dwayne • 07/18/2022, 11:31:42 PM Two Questions. 1. Is there a cover for the other swing arm hole if I only plan to use just the spare tire swing arm? 2. What rear camera mount is shown in these pics? Thanks
A 07/19/2022, 1:30:22 PM Yes! It will come with four plugs/caps (one for the top and bottom of each spindle sleeve). Put some RTV/silicone on them before installing them.
That is our License Plate & Camera Relocation Bracket.
Q Dave Winston • 08/07/2022, 10:27:50 AM How would you feel about drilling out the swing arm latch lock holes from 1/4 to to 5/16 to allow for a "Bolt" padlock? Work?
A 08/15/2022, 4:06:24 PM We haven't tried this, and it would decrease the load rating of the latch slightly. We'd recommend using a lock that fits the hole as designed.
