Most associations say that your hitch must be the rearmost object on the truck..

That said, do sled stops count as well? Or do they need to be recessed a hair closer to the truck than the hitch is?
 
My sled bumpers stick out farther than my hitch and never had any issues.
 
I do not think bumpers count. As long as you your hitch sticks past the back of the bed I would think you would be fine. I was told that if you back up to a wall that is square to the ground and to the center line if your truck that the hitch must be the first thing that hits not counting sled bumpers.

I understand that, but we are changing the hitch setups on 2 trucks for 4 different associations. We just want to make sure no one is going to have a problem with it. I know DHRA and BTPA doesn't.

Besides Joey...you seem to get away with more than the rest of us!! :poke:
