looks good.

How low is the hitch from the ground? and as opposed to the factory one through the bumper?

thanks

Looks about 4-5" lower
Franco you can always flip that ball mount if its too low for your trailer.

Any issues with the roof rails being installed?
I'm seriously thinking about having it done.

You can do that with most, but not all. It's worthwhile to check.

Guess I'll be the lone dissenter here and say I don't like the hitch. Why didn't you go with the aftermarket Mopar hitch which would've stayed flush with the bumper facia? You do have to remove the facia and cut a hole in it, but it looks so much better when you're done (IMHO).

I'm hoping to have the dealer remove my rear facia anyway to fix a corner near the taillight that's not flush with the body panel. Hoping to coordinate installing a Mopar hitch along with that so I can save some hassle not having to remove the facia myself.
