BUYERS PRODUCTS COMPANY SBH2 Step Bumper Hitch (with 2" Receiver Opening)

Fits great 88 gmc

This item arrived today and the only reason I purchased was due to the fact it states clearly on the box in the ad, the item is Made in the USA. The minute I opened the packing box, I knew by looking at the product's box, it was made in China, you get to know this by just the appearance. The box is clearly marked Made in China. I can only assume the included hardware is also made in China also. Never again.

It looks like it's custom for the bumper on my 1993 Toyota Pickup. I could not use the carriage bolts that came with it and had to spend about $10 at my local True Value for suitable hardware. It should work fine for the bike rack and cargo rack that I have. I think I'd want a regular hitch to tow anything more substantial.

Installed on 2003 Toyota Tundra. Couldn't use the 5/8" x 3" carriage style bolts that were supplied because they were too short and would not go in flush on the top side. Bought 5/8" x 4" hex style bolts and extra washers to use instead. Tucked the extra washers under bumper cover to existing holes and dropped new hex bolts down through. You'll need to use the other supplied flat washers as spacers on the bottom (4 per bolt) so hitch will clear bottom of bumper. It will look like the "Ford Bumper Style 2 " example provided in the installation instructions, except there will be an extra washer on top side under the hex bolt's head. Used the elongated holes on hitch for mounting.

I use this for towing my lite duty trailer at low speeds and locally. I would never recommend it for heavy duty or regular long hauling. It is as reliable as your step bumper though. It was perfect for my intermittent lite duty use.
