The specs on my '97 F-150 extended cab / short bed is 222.3 inches or approx. 18 1/2 ft. My garage has 19'4" or roughly 1 foot spare room if the truck is parked in it. I have a Draw-Tite hitch also.

Is there an aftermarket rear bumper that will replace my existing rear bumper that will still allow for the hitch and give me 2 or 3 inches less truck length than I have now?

I could consider replacing the front bumper if that would help. I presently have the factory fog lamps in the front bumper.

Thanks

 

I believe Street Scene's roll pan has a hidden hitch reciever in it. www.streetsceneeq.com

 

Checked 'Street Scene' - the roll pans look like they will do the job.

Searching on roll pans I see urethane, fiberglass and metal products. Seems the urethane comes standard in black and thus could be left unpainted.

Any thoughts on the best material to go with?

Thanks

 

I believe Street Scene makes all their parts in urethane. The urethane color is a lot duller looking than paint. If you are really worried about it matching your black paint, get it painted.

Here are pics from my old truck. The side skirts and bumper cover are Street Scene and made of urethane.
