bumper/hitch receiver

Newbie question. I bought a 94 xtra cab not too long ago and it had a 4" body lift already on it. At first i hated the idea of having all that body lift but now i think i'll keep it. I really don't need much flex, and if i get some rock sliders to cover up the exposed frame i'll have a good looking truck.
but my question is, i've seen tons of body-lifted toyotas where the rear bumper hangs down at the frame level, and it looks awful to me. is there any way i can avoid this and have it at the right height? i would eventually like to have a hitch too, or one built-in to the bumper. (currently my truck has no rear bumper)
Thanks

Are you sure it's 4"? The most you can buy as a kit and should have is 3"...

As far as bumpers go, you'll have to have something custom built to accommodate your bl

Buy a bumper with a hitch built in for whatever body lift you have.

Yes, just get/make a bumper to match the body lift (3" below):

I can see if you don`t drive on the street.

But one of those little smart cars could drive right under and impact on your rear end or come close any how.

Different states look at this in different ways
