3'' BL question - pic request

Anyone have a pic of the factory reese hitch with the 3'' BL. I'm thinking of doing a BL but I wanna see how bad the hitch looks first. Thanks

Its a body lift, the hitch mounts on the frame. So when the body is lifted 3" the hitch stays in the stock location.

Cut your valance or move them. Most people just cut the valance.

that's easy to fix though, just have the tips rehung. It shouldn't cost to much.

That I do but i'm gonna have it redone. Got 3 1/2 tips on there now and wanna go back to 3'' plus I wanna test out that offroad Super 44. Not sure how I want it setup but haven't really put much thought into it yet. For the tow hooks i'll just do without b/c I don't really wanna cut my valence.

how do you correct it so the hitch is back where it should be under the bumper? suspension lift?
