Default Trailer hitch/ after market bumper

I'm either looking for an after market bumper that fits with a trailer hitch, or an after mkt bumper that has an integrated hitch rated for towing. Anyone have any good ideas?

I have run ORF and AEV rear bumpers with the stock hitch. Many bumpers have an integrated hitch but most are not tow rated. They will probably tow fine but would want to make sure the hitch is frame mounted more than just the handful of rear bumper bolts if you tow.

Can't speak to a lot of the different brands, but my old Smittybilt XRC had integraded hitch....it wrapped up, under, and bolted to the rear cross member as well. I currently have a Crawler Conceptz bumper that I love, but the hitch is just integrated. I don't tow anything more than a small utility trailer from time to time, so not as much of a concern.

I have a Crawler Conceptz Ultra II rear bumper that works with the factory hitch. I thought I had a better pic, but this is all I have right now. Solid bumper!! Click image for larger version
