Help me solve this!

I want to put a Trailer hitch reciever on my truck, but I have a 3" body lift and if I buy one designed for my truck it will sit 3" below the rear bumper and look kinda silly. How do I get one that will fit correctly. I was thinking of buying one of those Roll Pan revievers that is designed to be at the same height as the bumper so that it can come through the liscence plate. i think that maybe the reciever on my truck will line up pretty well. any input?

I had the same problem. I put the bumper back to it's original height and put a piece of diamond plate aluminum over the gap left under the tailgate. Looks awesome, and was only $15 at Home Depot for the aluminum. And the reciever doesn't look retarded being 3" to low.
