For Those Who Have Road Armor REAR Bumpers
I was wondering how much lower (if at all) your hitch receiver sat as compared to stock. I will have ended up raising my receiver hitch almost 8 inches due to the lift and tires and need to know if the Road Armor will help bring it back down !

It does not move the stock receiver at all. It utilizes the stock set-up and is notched just over the top of it. I have the stealth bumpers on my truck and with a 5"s of lift on the back and 37" tires I use anywhere from an 10"-14" drop hitch to make it work.

Here is a pic showing a decent contrast between hitch and bumper just don't mind the snoozing...

CrashCade is right on all accounts. It doesn't change the receiver hitch at all but using hitch pins is tougher. I don't like to leave my adjustable receiver hitch in because it looks stupid hanging down so far, but thankfully I don't pull trailers much this time of year so it's not a big deal to put it in or take it back out.
CrashCade, did you have to drill your own holes for the license plate lights? I still haven't done mine and I think it's kind of odd that I spent so much on two bumpers only to have to drill holes in them to make them legal. They even sent me the lights with instructions on how to drill for them.

10-14"!!!! YIKES! I am going to have to have someone fabricate me a backet that drop the entire receiver plate about 8-10" then since my Hitch and receiver cannot get any lower. I have NO IDEA who could even do that!

My Brother has a 10" drop Hitch that he bought at the local 4X4 Shop. I use it all the time Towing my little 4 Wheeler Trailer. It has the same capacity as my standard reese receivers do. Shop is Tom's 4 Wheel Drive in Lexington, NC!
