I like the rear Hanson bumper to match the front and trying to figure out if it will work with the AEV tire carrier that is installed with the stock bumper. David is looking into it hopefully it'll work with some minor adjustments.

I like my Poison Spider Brawler light front bumper. I don't have the rear just yet still saving. Another thing to consider other than winch mount is the coverage. If you want a stubby, mid width or full width. There are some great products out there. Lots of choices.

i ran into the same issue with my aev tire carrier. don't care for the aev bumpers. it wouldn't work with almost every bumper out there. i know u can make it work with the mopar rear bumper and the genright, but not sure about the hanson. i sold it on this forum for $650 and got the new teaflex kit. picked up the poison spyder rear bumper that i wanted. all is well now in my world. there is a shop in big bear, ca called all j. they have made the aev carrier work with different bumpers. try calling them and asking about the hanson.
