LMC/ Brothers hidden truck hitch worth it?

Has anyone bought and installed? are they worth it or is it more crap? Any other options that have worked well for people? Im doing a 72 blazer lsx install w. 32 gallon tank and 2" lift. Not that most of that matters, but it kind of does. Thanks everyone for the help!

I bought it, but haven't installed it yet.

I bought one but my insurance company said it was a no no so it was never installed.

They didn't want me to pull trailers etc. To much chance of getting my truck damaged. Its insured as a drive and meet truck not a drive and work truck.

Otherwise I would have no issue of installing a hitch. I guess it depends on the insurance company one is using.

Yeah collector insurance companies are funny about that. I just have regular old insurance on mine since it's a daily driver anyway.

To me it is. I'm not really sure what answer you are looking for. I think it's all personal preference.

For me, I couldn't stand the looks of a hitch hanging below the bumper all the time, so I pulled it off. I save that look for my 1 ton pickup. Since I try to keep a clean stock appearance with my blazer, I bought the hidden hitch.
