Default Rear bumper, HELP!

I had a collision with a pole and I must change my rear bumper.
For my insurance, I have changed for Oem or valuable.
What do you think of this bumper.

Are this good or not?
I already have a hitch with a shackle.

Do you have another suggestion in the same price range?

Thank you
Xander

Not my style, but seems to be about the cheapest option I've seen

What about using the funds toward one of the used rear bumpers that people are selling here on the forum? There are some seriously good deals out there!

Default Compatible??

You said you already have a receiver hitch. I didn't see anywhere on the product description where it mentioned whether or not that bumper was compatible with a hitch. Not all after-market bumpers will fit if there is a hitch. You may want to ask before you buy.

Just my 2 cents...

Good Point!

Check the installation instruction
On page 2, first pic (3a), you see in the center the Oem Hook
and
on the next (3b), look the height between the bumper and the frame, its less then the original.

No?????????

Your in MTL man. Its only a short drive to NY and NJ. Get it shipped to just the other side of the border. Go over with tools and swap em in a parking lot. Toss your stock bumper in a dumpster or something on your way home.

I'll forget the rugged ridge .. it works for a hidden hitch.

2nd choice, so I'll put a little more than what insurance pays.
