Default Roll Pan Hitch?

I just got a new street scene roll pan (pics to come) and I was wondering if anyone knows a company that makes the hitch that sits behind the license plate. I talked with the guys at street scene and theydont have one for it, and may not make it. Thanks for the help.

I think if you go with a roll pan, you have to give up the hitch.

You have to give up the hitch but... I went and bought a new hitch that drops lower then the original one which does not hide it at all but it's still there to use if needed, it also does stick out about 6 inches

it is just the price you have to pay when you give into cosmetics..roll pans are sweet but if you need a hitch you need a hitch

that make them that go behind the license plate and you get a hinged plate holder, but not for our year.

You would think that a clever welder could cut off the receiver and re-weld it further back. A longer ball mount, and Bob's Your Uncle (well, not mine, but . . . )

Not gonna work because of spare tire unless you get rid of your spare tire mount, the spare is just to close to the roll pan. Trust me Know I tried

Well... I already can't fit the spare in because of my exhaust, so that's not a concern for me.

there you go my friend. They have two in stock... and then it's all over.

I hope to get the other one, but I doubt I'll have the funds before someone else snags the second one.

truckshop also sells spring loaded license plate brackets that can help too.
