The slightly more aggressive approach:

I removed my hitch with a plasma cutter. That’s one option :) As the second iteration, I replaced it with a reinforced metal bar with d-ring mounts.

Could do Pleasanton! I assume you installed the receiver version and have this left over?
I have one in San Diego if you want it. Came off a 21 Mojave.

I ran over the microwave when it stopped working a couple months ago. My husband said that was highly aggressive. I thought it was funny...

You know, Motobilt does bobbed beds. I think they cut part of the frame out when doing that, if you're REALLY wanting more clearance.

Motobilt did do a good job with theirs, but you can also bob your own bed with about 2 days and some basic tools: welder, grinder, etc.

LOL, Maybe YOU can. I don't know how to weld!

I really need to get a welder because I want to build an overlanding trailer eventually...
