Question Flip up or Flip Down license plate bracket, hidden receiver hitch??

I have a Lund rollpan on my truck, I need to install a hidden hitch and flip license plate bracket so I can tow a trailer once in a while.

I have a MGW lightning license plate frame, It's pretty thick and would like to keep it on.

Should I get a flip up or down and where do I get one from? Any ideas on where to buy a hidden hitch and who makes the best one ?

Thanks

I know Stylin Concepts sells the hidden hitch w/ a flip-up (most popular) license plate holder.

cant you just remove the plate while towing, to expose the hidden hitch hole?

maybe not if your plate is attached like mine is, but just an idea...

This is what the plate I have looks like ..It is a 1/2 inch thick.




Vinnie, Do you have this plate on your truck. Did you get a Class II hidden reciever hitch for your truck?

tks

Hey Vinnie,

I went there and searched and found fold down license plates. After further research, I went to street scenes web site, the P/N on stylingconcepts is for street scenes flip up bracket with light .

I think my hitch is a class III. My plate folds down and works good. I like the ones that fold down best because there is no chance of people seeing your plate when you don't want them to...

DL,

I do not have one on my L , but I had one on my 1993 Cheby Indy pace truck and I loved it.

It does not matter if you flip up or down (your preference). I also see no reason why the MGW plate surround would not work.
