Default Aftermarket Rear Bumper with Integrated Hitch Receiver?

I am on a search for a rear bumper with a swing-away tire carrier AND a built-in 2" hitch receiver for a JKU. Any manufacturers that come to mind that I should check out? Any to stay away from?

Any links, pictures or sage advice from the community will be appreciated.

Off the top of my head, I think the smittybilt xrc and src have an integrated hitch. Same with the rock hard 4x4.

I know there are some but usually they have a derate on the capacity compared to a true frame rail mounted hitch. I think most will show 2000 lb compared to 3500 lb for JKU.

My SB XRC bumper receiver is rated at 3500 lbs according to install instructions. It is wrap around cross-frame mount (4 long bolts) as OEM. Plus it bolts to outer frame rails.

body armor makes one that allows you to keep your factory hitch. It has a cut out section like the smittybilt one
