Default best rear bumper for ~$450

Looking for a rear bumper for around 450 bucks, needs to accomodate factory hitch, tire carrier optional. Any recommendations?

Been looking for the same exact thing. I'm stuck on the genright fusion rear bumper and the or-fab slider rear bumper. Think I'm going genright, should look nice with my tire carrier setup.

If you could stretch your budget just a bit, you might consider Dirtworx. He does great work, think I paid $550 for mine.

Yeah, I believe that's what I paid. It's been awhile now. He also built a trail basket that goes above the spare for me. So that cost extra, just don't remember how much. I had the Atlas bumper before this one, I love this one.

For 550 doesn't look too great either. Jmo, no body protection and gaps everywhere. It's like those pavement ends bumpers that are super cheap but really look awful.

Like the rancho carrier, great price just not a bumper and barely a tire carrier.

Might do the crawler conceptz to match my tire carrier. Just hope it fits easier.

If you tow a heavy load, you may want to pony up some extra cash for the XRC bumper. It is rated for 5000 pounds tow. Really makes a world of difference if you use a weight distribution hitch. Cost about $600 but well worth it. I've towed 5000 pound toy hauler with the factory hitch, and the XRC.
