Does anyone have this installed?

If so, how is the fitment?
How is the relocation bracket?

Does anyone know what the hitch is rated for?

Doesn't look too promising.



Totally unrelated, were you ever active over on FocalJet probably 10-12 years ago? I recognize your screen name.

" Also included, is a heavy duty 2-inch accessory hitch designed to accept cargo racks, bike racks, recovery gear, and a license plate relocation mount."

Direct quote from their description. It's not rated.

Most aftermarket rear bumpers with an integrated hitch are not rated, they usually say it in plain language. They don't move enough of the product to justify the certification process.

Thanks all. I tried searching twice!

No to focaljet. But I've been on a ton of forums the past 20 years.

Not a fan of DV8 overall quality, wife has a front bumper of theirs and I had to cut the light bar cutouts because even their own light bar didn't fit.

Red summit machineworks has a bumper that does the same thing, but is way more heavy duty. Although the price point shows the quality difference.

Wrote a post with some pictures on another thread if anyone's interested in this bumper:

Here's a pic (plenty of modifications to make this bumper useful):
