no, I want something integrated, like how it is on the current metal tech tube bumper. A lot of the aftermarket swing out bumpers do not have integrated hitches, so the hitch hangs kinda low, below the bumper.
If you read through everything on this bumper, you'll kindly pick up on there is no hitch option other than the OEM hitch. In fact there is no rear bumper, just a "beauty plate" that covers the rear crash bar. So if you have or add the OEM hitch it will be the same height as stock

Re: Metal-tech Red Eye rear bumper

I believe the original designer of this bumper, not Metal Tech, had designed a hitch to integrate, though not listed in this thread.

Re: Metal-tech Red Eye rear bumper

^^ Original designer had modified the stock hitch to allow for more clearance. Don't really know if it will be available on the production design or not.

The stock hitch will work with this bumper. For a high clearance hitch, one could be made for light duty use since the frame of the truck is in the way so the receiving tube would have to be stubby since it would be just off the back of the frame.

Getting close on this project.

Re: Metal-tech Red Eye rear bumper

This thread got started almost a year ago. I sure hope that they are close to releasing it soon.
