How far will the 2" tube be from the the chrome bumper? Wondering if it will hang down to low on my 05 1500 2wd with no plastic air dam.

I have the plastic below it and cut 1/8 square for the receiver. No plastic makes it easier, and should leave you a good 3 to 4 inches. Place all the bolts with the fish eye and if you have a floor jack balance it and carefully jack to the bolts but not all the way. Maneuver the hitch into place with the bolts and use your foot to lift the jack handle and slowly raise one pump. Then make sure they all line up and then once more. You should be able to thread the bolts slightly. Then crank into place and torque down. I didn't have air wrench but did it with a 3/4 inch drive torque ratchet. 20 minutes once you unpack it from the box. No drilling on my ram was required. 06-07 have to drill. Keep the bolts in one pocket and the washers in the other.

It is completely concealed within the rear bumper. If you're insinuating that there is drag as a result of installing this, which would decrease mileage, that has not been observed. This should be the absolute least concern. The hitch is great!

You might need an extension piece for your hitch. It clamps onto a 2" bar. It didn't work for us because I use a sway hitch for our camper.

Monti, The FULL drop, from the very top of the mounting bracket to the bottom of the bottom step looks to be 23.5 inches. From the top step to the bottom step is 19". I have them mounted on a 2002 Springdale TT and when installed there is a 9.5 in step down from the last step to the ground. I hope one of those measurements helps to answer your question!

I have a 2" lift with no problems. I can' t see the lift being an issue as it does not change the space in engine compartment. Go for it, if you run into an issue it can be returned.

I am not sure BUT I do have a 2" Curt hitch and it does fit on mine. I love the locking feature...that is why I chose this one. Hope this helps.

I purchased a conduit clamp the size of the roll bar and made a wood wedge for the spacer between the clamp and the top and {2} 1/4" bolts, flat washers, and self locking nuts. I installed this in the middle for safety. Very similar to the other clamps that hold the top down. You will need a rubber washer under the top washer to stop the water from dripping when out in the rain. I did 2 other things that I don't think I can explain here. I can send you some pics. if you want. I have pulled mine 60 miles per hour with no problem. Wind shield beware.

the hangers are angled. depending on what bumper you have and if you have a wrx or STi, the stock rubber hangers wont be long enough to fit the exhaust without melting your bumper. I used the KartBoy XL rubber hangers.

i would go with the 2 1/2", it gives you a level stance where the 2" has that slight back end rise. the 2 1/2" we've used here at the dealership have given the trucks a level look, they look pretty cool.

I had a similar problem with low profile tires. I could not find a good place to attach them. My bumpers are plastic and not sturdy enough to hold them. I think they are meant for older cars with medal bumpers.

I bought this rack mainly to use on our 5th wheel but so far have only used it on the pickup truck. As the bike wheels sit in the rack holders they don't really hang down but with the rack coming straight out from the receiver hitch (which is already below bumper height) the wheels then are below the bumper. I have found no problems with ground clearance. If that is your concern I guess you could get one of those step up adapters to raise the rack a few inches. Hope that helps. Cheers. PS my rack will not be bolted to the bumper as my 5th wheel has a receiver hitch as well.

If your bumper is 4" wide by 2" tall, you will have to get new bolts, they aren't threaded far enough. I'm note sure what you will be using it for, but I would check to make sure the bumper will hold.

I believe that that will not be a problem but being only 2wd you may want to beef up the front suspension because it weighs 200lbs.

It sticks out 2-3 inches past the hood opening but does not protect the fenders. I have a picture if you want it.

I mounted mine farther forward, About half way between the back wheels and rear bumper. I installed the shield to an aluminum 8ft. long 1X1 angle iron and then used 2 pieces of 1 1/2 angle iron to attach it to the frame leaving it 3 inches off the ground. PAPABOB

Around 3" front and 2.5" rear. It's a very noticeable drop. Looks great also. You will have to give it a month or so for the springs to fully adjust.
