Hey Jonathan, the install of the EcoHitch part # EH75SR does not require the permanent removal of the rear bumper beam. It will come off for the install process but then goes back on over the hitch.

Hey Jonathan, how did things go with reinstalling the factory crash bar after mounting the EcoHitch? Knowing if the radar sensor worked properly afterward could help others with the same setup.
