I had planned on buying this bumper, but the price kept going up to the point where other stubby bumpers were price competitive. I ended up going with OR-FAB. For pretty much the same money, I got something made in the USA, not overseas, welded, not stamped. The OR-Fab covers the crash bar AND doesn't require relocation of the vacuum pump on newer models.

Yh I didn't want a stubby, so their full length is priced very competitively and I liked the look and heard good things about its strength/durability etc.

Cancel your order. Amazon has it for $399 shipped. And that's for a new one, not used, BTW.

I dont want the stubby. The one I purchased was the full length bumper hence the higher costs . I actually got it from Amazon.

I love the appearance of the Rampage bumpers, but I wish their rear allowed for the use of the factory trailer hitch. That's a must for me. (I also read some negative remarks about the strength of the rear JK bumper.)

I bet you can make it work...I have the pavement ends bumper and did some minor cutting and got it to work with the factory hitch! Good luck with yours!
