Why do you need to cut the frame with a psc rear bumper?

I know this is an old thread, but I love the look of the BFH rear bumper and was wondering if you can keep the factory hitch? This does take away from the departure angle, but I want it mostly for looks (and the awesome price). Any input appreciated, thanks!

If I recall correctly, installing the BFH rear requires cutting out the crossmember that the factory hitch mounts to. You would have to fab something up to retain a hitch. But, putting a hitch on will negate a good bit of the departure angle you'd gain from having put the BFH bumper on! IMO, if you want to retain the rear hitch, the PSC Brawler would be a better choice! (since it allows retention of your stock hitch)
