Hitch
I would put it back on. I have the V1 Bushtec on mine. I changed out the rear tire by laying it down on the side, no problems. It lays on the crash bars so no plastic touches the ground. I did have a large carpet that I used under it, but it was really not necessary. Someday you "might" decide you want to pull a trailer and then you will already be ready to go.
And if you use a Packit Rack or other racks the hitch would be a lot stronger to use for support.
