Choosing Blue Ox is like having a baseplate custom made for your vehicle. Blue Ox baseplates are easy on your suspension and even easier on the eye. They have been designed with hidden reinforcement. Blue Ox does not offer a one size but it fits all support system, but rather a system that is shock absorbing and integrated into the individual bumper frame with the bumper design of your vehicle. Blue Ox's philosophy is to let the baseplate torsion or flex, similar to receiver hitches allowing the baseplate to absorb the forces of towing rather than rigidly transferring the forces to the frame of the vehicle.
