Rear license plate question for bagged guys laying frame.

What are you guys doing with your rear plate mounting bracket? I have a 71 and my bracket hangs lower than the rear bumper. My plate rest on the ground when I lower the truck. What are you guys doing to get your plate up a little higher or does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thanks

Re: Rear license plate question for bagged guys laying frame.

I had my truck laying pinch and my plate didnt hit the ground. weird. is it when the truck completely lays out? or when the back is down and the front is up? I would just run bolts through the plate so it doesnt come off.

Or maybe something like this http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Electr...-Kit,9148.html have it on a switch so when you drive you flip it down.

Mine is mounted to the rear as shown below. When riding dirty (nose fully up, rear dumped), it may touch the ground
