Rear Bumper Options
I have been looking at all the rear bumpers for the JK and none of the currently available bumpers seem to have the options I am looking for.
I would like to have (in order of importance):
-Swing away tire carrier w/ ADJUSTABLE TIRE MOUNTING HEIGHT
-Shackle mounts
-Tow receiver
-Integrated backup lights
-(Optional) High-Lift jack mount
-(Optional) Gerry can holders
-(Optional) Removable trail rack above tire
Did I forget anything?
Anyone know of anything on the horizon that includes all or most of these features? I am getting the AEV front bumper and am leaning toward the Rampage rear bumper for what's available now. Not sure if they match either. Anyone have pics or specs for the AEV rear bumper? Any input would be appreciated.

I&I, I'm looking for the exact same kind of bumper, but I really want the hi-lift mounting capability and the jerican mounts, and def swing away. The closest I've found is the body armor 63" at quadratec. I like the looks of the fab fours and some of the others better though but they don't seem as versatile. I'm still looking. Any word of Shrockworks putting something out like that?

I've been shopping around today, on the front page, project-jk page there are several options, i'm liking the LoD, Jeeperman, and the body armor bumpers, they have most if not all of what you are looking for. I'd still like to see what shrockworks is going to come up with, I'd like to have the same kind on both ends. Good Luck deciding, they all look good.

Do any of those have an adjustable tire mounting height?
It would actually be nice to be able to adjust the mounting height easily somehow so you could lower the rear tire for street and raise it for better departure angle when wheeling. Adjustable height also is nice for different lift heights.
