The only thing that I liked was the fact that the tow points were high (unlike my hitch right now).

Yeah, when I was originally going to have a local hitch company build me a tire carrier and hitch, the plan was to build up the hitch and swing arm support framing behind the factory bumper and then run the receiver through behind the license plate and have a mounting bar run along the top area of the bumper to hold the swing arm. It was my design, but the guy said he could do it. Problem was that it would have ended up costing me about $900 and that didn't include the swing arm portion. Just to do the custom hitch with the hidden receiver probably would have probably been between $400 and $500, so it would have been a good alternative to the factory hitch except that the framing would make it impossible to fit the spare tire underneath. Anyway, I really liked the idea, but not the cost.
