When you’re not towing, this setup keeps your vehicle looking factory fresh. The hidden design keeps brackets from sticking out past the bumper, and the arms remove with a simple twist. Once they’re off, plug in the included receiver covers to keep dirt out and give the front end a finished look. You won’t have to worry about bumping into any exposed hardware when walking by.
Each removable arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and secures with a pin. The straightforward design makes attaching or removing the arms quick and reliable every time you tow. With a distance between brackets of 22" and a bracket height of 12-1/2", it’s easy to plan the rest of your setup around these points.
The heavy-duty steel construction is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, standing up well to years of towing. The base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required, and its sturdy design spreads towing forces evenly to help reduce stress on your suspension. It’s built to handle thousands of miles of road time without worry.
This kit pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a solid, reliable connection. It can also be adapted for use with Roadmaster tow bars using adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately), or with Demco tow bars using adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). Integrated mounting points make it simple to attach an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately) so everything looks tidy and works smoothly when you hook up.
You can take this on as a weekend project without needing special tools or welding skills. The base plate bolts securely to your chassis using the included mounting hardware for a clean fit. Reviewers who used detailed install videos found the process easy to follow—proof that this setup is designed with real do-it-yourselfers in mind.
