Default Full Width Front Bumper W/ Hitch Receiver

Does anyone know of any MFG that makes a full width front bumper that has a 2" receiver built into it? I don't need it for a winch. A friend of mine drives winged sprint cars and I am wanting to use my jeep as a push vehicle. I need the receiver to be able to install the push pad on race days. Thanks for the info. P.S. I know about the Olympic Stubby one already thanks.

Have you thought about attaching the push pad to the shackle tabs? You'd simply just need to pin it on and off, maybe make a backing plate for the pad? You'd have an endless supply off bumpers to choose from then!

Damn!!! That is a good idea. I will have to look into that. Only concern i can see would be the height of jeep with the lift and tires. With the receiver at least it can be on a drop hitch. I will have to do a litte research online. Thanks

Let us know if we can be of any help, we have mounted hitches to the bottom the our 1/4" winch plate for customers before, which puts it down low, only downfall is you can't run the skid plate since the hitch is in the way.

I'd be up for something along the line of this but a little classier looking. And I would perfer if the hitch was closer to flush mount even if it meant i had to reach under bumper to install pin. thanks again.

Unfortunately, we never took any pics when we custom built them. For Little modifications like this we do not charge any extra $.

Who would I talk to about one of your bumpers with a custom mod to add a front receiver hitch?
