It won't, we are providing a new LED lamp due to space restrictions with the flippable plate and hidden hitch.

Love the design so far! I've been waiting for a swing out spare tire carrier that doesn't break the bank like Expedition one.
Will the towing capeabilities be affected by this integrated hitch design? is it as strong as the factory tow bar? I do tow regularly, but never more than 4500lbs. (due to my manual transmission). The Off road teardrop I'm planning on getting eventually is in the 2500lb to 3500lb. range.
I kind of like how the factory tow bar offers protection to the rear when coming down. Mine is all scraped up already, and it hits before my spare tire does, which is awesome. What would be the first point of contact with your bumper? I plan on still running a spare tire under the bed (I want 2 spares for long expeditions), and want it to remain somewhat protected.
Also, i LOVE the step cutout on rear corners, that is an awesome touch. Are those side protection pieces as strong as the factory Rubicon stuff?
Stoked to see pricing!
Cheers and keep up the great work

The hitch is crazy strong. We aren't really high enough volume to justify getting it rated, but on paper, the forces are better managed than even the factory hitch. I use the same setup on my Tacoma with a ~4,500 camper and a weight-distribution hitch and it doesn't even flex a measurable amount.
