Hidden Hitch + Bumper?
 
Has anyone ever run a hidden hitch with a bumper? I was thinking about it. I have no idea if it can be done. I like the look of not having a hitch, but I'm thinking it would be kinda cool to just hide it. Input Please.

it's already hidden under the bumper!

I asked a while back and never really got much feedback. The best I can tell all that would need to be done is make a custom reciever with the ball mount and i think the license plate will need to be raised to be able to fold down or if you dont tow much then just take it off when you need to. I was going to give it a shot but never really found the time to try it.

Guess it would depend on what kind of Roll Pan. I run a Street Scene SS Roll Pan with a Street Scene Hidden Hitch. What kind of feedback are you looking for? Ill see if I can round up some pictures.

Oh youre probably referring to a hidden hitch while using the Stock Bumper?

Someone measure license plate relative to tailgate bottom with bumper, and without bumper. Hidden hitch will fit regardless of pan or bumper, just get a flip up license plate. Would probably need to get a longer ball setup to clear the bumper tho.

I want to do this too. I think ordering a hidden hitch for the roll pan would work.. may have to alter a couple things. Otherwise just have one made. The only thing I think may be a problem is if you run stabilizer bars they will prolly hit your bumper. May have to build a longer "sleeve" extention if its strong enough.

I got a guy on Facebook. He has a drop hitched flipped and then his plate pushed out the appropriate ammount when he tows.
