Yeah thats the one . How was it installing? I want to use it for a dirt bike rack but dont know how the law will react with the bike maybe blocking headlights.
Thank's Roger

It probably depends if it is night or day.

With a dirt bike rack so I'm assuming you will be carrying a dirt bike in the front? Wouldn't that be extremely front heavy, not to mention shifting your center of gravity further out front on the truck. What are you using the bed for?

I have this one on my truck. It wasn't as easy to install as I had hoped. Had to loosen the front bumper to slide it in. Took about 3 hours. I use it to park my boat 4500# boat/trailer in tight spaces, with about a 450# tongue weight. Works great for me.

Only problem with it is that it sticks about 8" in front of bumper. From the paint marks on it, several people have hit it pulling into parking spaces. It looks seriously mean.

Wolfhound - I have the front tow hitch to do the same think - park my boat in our side yard. I wouldn't even try if I didn't have a front tow hitch. I got mine at Kennesaw Mtn.
