Sport Bumper and Trailer Hitch pics Request - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On my 87 I have a chrome step bumper. Its looking a little worse for wear. I found a sport bumper with brackets for sale and I have always liked the looks of them. But I need to pull a trailer. Does the hitch hang low? Are the hitches hard to find? does anyone have any pics. thank

Here's mine. I know it's dark and you can't really see the hitch, but at least you can tell how low the receiver is.

i also purchased a salvage blazer bumper and some brackets that had been cut off. i also have questions about mounting. my guess is the outside ones are interchanagble from blazer to pickup and the inside are different since the blazer has a boxed end frame.
