ToolShopUSA Step Bumper Receiver 5000 Pounds Review

ToolShopUSA Step Bumper Receiver 5000 Pounds

Pros:
Price
Quality/Durability
Size
Universal
Cons:
Universal (hard fit on some makes and models such as 1990's dodges)
Linear bolt pattern
drilling your bumperExcellent 2" tube reciver hitch for a step bumper. And yes I had to drill but no big deal just whipped out my 3/4" drill bit and went to work on my bumper. Something note worthy though the pre-stamped holes on the hitch itself are to fit a 3/4" bolt but due to the anti rust paint and the fact the holes are stamped and not drilled they fit an 11/16" bolt which companies stopped making in the 50's except by special order. This means you will need to slightly ream out the stamped holes on the hitch with your 3/4" bit. After that you will need 4 3/4" shank bolts, 4 washers, 4 locking washers, and 4 nuts. Its pretty simple folks if you don't grasp the concept you have no business pulling a trailer.
Also note the picture is upside down. And as a drilling reference the hitch plate is made of 1/4" industrial steel and is welded all around the receiver tube to support the 500 lb tongue weight and 5000lbs trailer weight. Hope this helps.
Oh yeah almost forgot, I drive a 1969 F-250 and in that day and age bumpers were a dealer option so....basically this hitch is universal. The measurements given under product description were spot on so don't be an idiot and measure your step and bumper first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lund 601021 Hitch Rack Truck Bed Extender Review

Average Reviews:

Lund has always signified high quality. This extender is no exception. Can now safely carry 20/40 ft ladder with 6.5 ft. truck bed. Will haul scrap metal shed all folded up today. Will add 3/16 thick rubber pads (Ace Hardeware) to top of cross bar to cushion. So many adjustment positions and tie down points, this can be used with any SUV or pickup. Powdercoat finish should last decades. Pay a little more, you won't regret it. They even provided hitch adapter for smaller receivers.

Pro-Series HTEXT Truck Extension Review

I bought the Pro-Series HTEXT Truck Extension because I needed a back rack to carry my canoe and I didn't want to put a permanent rack on the back of my truck. The Pro-Series HTEXT Truck Extension is well built and is easy to install, it slides into your existing reese hitch and adjusts to the height you want.
