Default Which Rear Bumper?

Which rear bumper should I pair with my Smittybilt Stinger front bumper?

I do not need a tire carrier, as I have a mounting set up for the spare in the belly, but I do have the factory hitch.

I dont want to spend a ton of $$ on it either something under $500 for sure.

While I really dont like the tube bumpers I was thinking that Olympic rear tubular may not be that bad of look....but I'm not sure on that.

Why not get a matching Smittybilt rear?

I'm even considering something as simple as the Pavement Ends rear bumper, but I'm not sure if compatible w/ the factory hitch.

I'm interested in the Pavement Ends rear bumper too. Will it fit with the hitch, and will it fit with a 35" tire on the gate? Anyone have those answers?

I have the poison spider and it fits with my factory hitch. I don't know about the pavement ends,but it looks like a nice bumper.
