Wow, so much good information, and you really went all out! What are you using for the base, did you fab your own or did you buy one and just put the box on top of it? You literally have thought of everything!
Thanks, it was a years-long project. Six to eight years at least. Use it, see a need, change it, use it, see a problem, change it........etc.
The base that’s holding the box to the truck is all custom made from angle-iron mostly. Some 2” square tube, and some flat plate where needed. The pintle hitch mount came from etrailer if I remember right. Speaking of which, that’s how I’d handle your front bumper hitch. There are pintle hitch mounts that can provide 12”-18” of drop. I’d buy one and build off of that rather than make any changes to your bumper. That thing is a beast!
If I ever need more approach angle clearance, I can raise the box up 6” by bolting it up higher on the pintle mount.
