Default Rear Bumper

I am looking for a rear bumper for a 2011 and want one that will install with the OEM receiver. I do not want anything with a tire carrier mount sticking out of the bumper on the passenger side. So far I have only found Shrockworks and Off Camber that seem to fit my needs. Anyone know of anything else. This can be a stubby or mid width as well. Prefer "bare metal" optiion as I Xline my bumpers prior to install. Any help is appreciated.

Default Rampage Rear Recovery Bumper

I run the Rampage Rear Recovery Bumper. It hooks up to the frame using the factory bolts, and it's sturdy ("heavy") as hell. It comes in either gloss black or textured black; with or without the tire carrier; clevis D rings either way; and even has the options of back-up lights built right into the bumper (which you must buy separately) and a hitch receiver (which you must also buy separately). **It will NOT fit with the factory hitch. I'm pretty happy with mine overall. I went with the gloss black without the tire carrier and without the hitch; I think it looks badass! Depending on what options you get (gloss vs. powdercoat), you can find them online anywhere from $550 to $600+. The catalog is very good about giving you the specific item # to look for when price shopping. The item number is CRUCIAL when looking for gloss vs. textured, with vs. without tire carrier, and the additional back-up ("driving") lights for the rear bumper. Just Google search "Rampage Products", then check their interactive catalog. Recovery Bumpers is the first topic at the top of the Table of Contents in their interactive catalog.

Good luck!

I have the Shrockworks stubby w/ tire carrier. It is a work of art. But it took 4 months to get. I would wait that long again though.

I agree 100% and feel the same way.

Me, too. And I waited ten months (long story, not entirely Shrockwork's fault). But, do be aware that they will charge your credit card up front, and they provide unreliable delivery estimates--it will be a long wait regardless of what they say. But, worth it. I've looked at a lot of aftermarket bumpers and have yet to find one built with the quality and features of a Shrockworks.

BTW: I believe that Warn's bumper works with the stock hitch. Not certain about the pin for the swing-away gate, however. You might check out the Mopar bumper, as well.
