Default rear bumper/carrier

Im looking for one with minimal to no rattle and would prefer not to break the bank. Lol. I was looking at the ace but I don't think it will work as I have a 1.25" body lift. Any help? I also looked thru the "ebay bumper" thread and not real sure about that one.

The ebay bumper is pretty good I have one & have no problems with rattles or anything really. If I had to get another it would be the ace. I like that it attaches to the tailgate & the lifetime warranty is great plus it doesn't kill the bank. If I had lots of money to spend id go with poison spider or lod. Hope you find one that fits you

How do you like the ebay bumper as far as quality and how long have you had it? I love the ace but with the bl I don't think it will work. I called ace today and the guy said he would check with engineering to see if they could modify a bumper for me.

I like it alot its built nice I've actually came down onto a rock with it hard & all that I got was a little bend. You couldn't even tell if you didn't know. I've had it about 4 months & everything is great on it i've kept everything lubed up so the swing arm works perfect

So the pivot is greasable? How does the latching system work? Any pics by chance?

There's a grease zerk right on top of the pivot. The latch is rectangle with bumps on the ends you put it in the opening push the handle in & turn then its locked in. I don't have any pictures ill get a few tomorrow when there's sun outside
