I've searched for any info on rear bumpers and have found some. Most threads seem to focus more on the front bumpers. (From which I have learned alot).

I'm looking for a full width rear with shackle mounts that will work with the stock hitch, without a tire carrier. I have found the Mopar and Bestop Highrock so far but can't seem to find any others. Anyone have any suggestions? I have seen a couple that appear to be pretty heavy and would like to stay more on the lighter side. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Search for expedition one. They've got one I'm thinking about.

 

I second that

 

I will check out the Expo One. Thanks

 

Just took a quick look. Really like the bumper but the cost at $1,000 for just the bumper (without the tire carrier) is more than I wanted (or can) spend. Any other bumpers that might fit the bill?

 

I have the shrockworks with tire carrier, but bumper only is available. Very well made, however, expect a long wait for delivery. it maintains your factory hitch, and I love that, for exactly the reason they state. It saved my bumper getting hit tons comming off a drop. A lot of guys neg on the delivery time but good things come to those that wait, quality is by far superior.

ARB has one for about $700. You can add the tire carrier if you want it later.

 

OF-FAB, MOPAR, ARB, Body Armor, AEV, and Garvin all allow factory hitch.. I would say best quality out of those would be MOPAR, ARB, AEV and Garvin.

 

If getting a Shrockworks, expect SERIOUS wait times. Still waiting on my Front Bumper ordered many moons ago. I to am hoping the quality is what everyone states it is. Good luck in your search...The Poison Spyder rear bumper and tire carrier is what I have on mine, and havent seen anything that even touches the quality. Just my opinion, and not sure if it works with the hitch...

 

Thanks for all the options. I'll take a look at these this weekend. I also was looking at Genright. Seems like their steel bumper is 50lbs and the AL is 20. Should be able to find one out of this list.
