Whats a good looking rear bumper that uses the stock hitch?

 

expedition one

 

"Good looking" is in the eye of the beholder. There are a number of rear bumpers now that are compatible with the stock hitch including Shrockworks (which I've had on order since early April, so be forewarned there's a long wait), Warn, Mopar, Olympic (tubular), ARB and Rancho. There may be a couple others I'm unaware of.

 

Why would you want to keep the stock hitch? It is not much to speak of, four bolts and the center insert. You would be better of getting a bumper that is made with a hitch welded in it. Just my opinion tho

 

Most bumpers with a hitch dont have a tow rating, thats probley why he's asking.

Purejeep also keeps the factory hitch.

I have a Hanson Bumper with the hitch built in. I've pulled a 2,500lb trailer without issue

 

will you be needing the bumper to be a tire carrier as well? if not, the ARB rear bumper utilizes the factory hitch and is pretty good looking to me.

 

I like the Rugged Ridge XHD rear bumper and you can still use the factory hitch. The price point is okay also.

 

I think Screamin Lizard Customs has a few Shrockworks bumpers in stock.

 

Right now I can use my bike carrier and still open the tailgate. I'm afraid if I get one with a built in hitch it will not clear.

 

I heard ARB has a redesign for the rear with tow hooks......wonder what that'll look like.....
