Default body lift

I know this may be a stupid question but i dont feel like figuring it out myself. If i put a body lift on my truck, will my hitch reciever stay put and look out of place? or will it lift with the truck?

ill probably just go with one of the kits then, they allow you to keep the cats. around here they are illegal to use on the road but i can use em at car shows and stuff like that.

I dont think you understand. With the cats in place, there is not enough ram exhaust going out the pipe to ignite anything. Its not that you cant use a kit with cats, its that due to emissions, the cats "burn" all unspent fuel.
