Should i lift the rear bumper or put a filler plate in?

I chose to lift the bumper and leave the hitch down there. Depending on how your hitch is mounted it could be rather easy to change if you can access a welder or beer for a buddy with a welder. My hitch is a drawtite (IIRC) and mounts to the bottom of the frame. The Ford hitch mounts to the outsides of the frame. The Ford ones are easy to shorten, just cut a section out of the vertical plates that mount it and weld it back together. Theres a few threads on here somewhere that have some pics from Shane (FX4Wannabe) doing it I believe.

That hitch you've got actually looks alright when the truck is BL'd. Me, i ended up modding the hitch and lifting it. Took that nasty ugly *** sour taste away from the hitch that hangs 2' below the bumper.

Question, why when the truck was 4wd it was lowered, and now that you've swapped to a 2wd frame you lift it? I thought part of the reason for getting a 2wd XLT frame was to make it easier to drop? Just seems a bit backwards to me. [/hack]
Glad you chose to raise the bumper.
