I had to modify my adjustable hitch so it would fit, I cut around 3 inches off the male hitch end, drilled new locating pin holes and cut the top off the adjustable sleeve to allow the wheel carrier to open without the bump stop striking the tow hitch.

Oops, here's the pic.

I was having a similar thought / issue with my new Slee rear bumper. I have always been used to having a hitch or a shackle mount locked into my receiver with a locking pin, however the pin hole is so close to the bumper that I can't use my locking pin. I checked the local auto parts store and did not see anything that would possibly work. Is the only solution to drill another hole further out like @Batlowboy did? I would like to be able to lock in a hitch bike rack from time to time also......

Very good information, anyone have a greater drop down that fits good off the shelf?

The B&W can be had with as much as 9" drop and is adjustable.

Are those KM2s 255s?

Look sweet!

Yes those are the KM2 in 255/85/16. I think add some 1.25" wheel spacers to push them out a tad and it's perfect. Love that size.

So depending on the lift you may need more of a spacer in the front correct?

 

[Bama4door]

With tall skinny tires like 255/85 I don't think you have to have wheel spacers (shouldn't contact the UCA).

I was saying I would add them for cosmetic reasons to make them sit more flush with the fender.

10-4,

Problem is I have factory flares and haven't got the courage to remove one of them yet to survey the carnage that may be underneath it.

To stay on topic, I wish I had the free funds to justify this beast of a rear bumper. Looks astounding!

 

[HFDPNL]

Yes, 255's....not mine, it was a friend's, it was my inspiration for my own build. It did not have spacers and had no fitment/rubbing issue that I recall.

Just sweet looking man,

I can't image the traction when you consider the science and physics of the slimmer tire and the weight of the LC.

Bet it's a beast!
