Default Upgraded Rear Bumper and Factory Tow Package

I just got my JK a couple of weeks ago, the dealership is going to install the max tow package here in the next couple of weeks. I'm wondering if I upgrade the rear bumper will I still be able to keep the tow package on?

Thanks

Depends on the bumper you purchase. I have a PSC Rock Brawler and I used my existing hitch. Some other bumpers have the hitch built in. Which ones are you considering?

I wasn't aware that I was putting a new bumper on at the time of the purchase, what bumper can I run with the tow package? Don't want a tube bumper, preferably has D ring mounts.

Most work with tow package. I prefer Poison Spyder bumpers. Well made and good stuff!

Poison Spyder has some great stuff. Goes around factory hitch and has mounts for d-rings. Lots of accessory options too.
