Default Stock carrier and after market bumper

So right now I have a paramount rock crawler front bumper so I was gonna go with the same brand for the back. I know the stock tire carrier is rated for up to a 37" tire I believe. My question is if I get this bumper (link below), can I still use my stock carrier. I don't want a bumper with a tire carrier cause this is my daily driver for now and I throw all my tools and such in the back. I currently have a 35" spare. It might be a stupid question but it doesn't hurt to ask before I spend the money.

I was also wondering if anyone had any pics of this rear bumper.

If you are running a 35" tire on your stock hinges now its only a matter of time before they where out.I had a 34"toyo mt and it lasted about a year be the hinges went bad.I got the teraflex hinge and its great. you can run a 37" tire high lift jack and gas cans if you want to and run any bumper you like.

How much did that run you and what is it exactly. Just the hinges for the rear door?

Look up Teraflex tire carrier on the forum it cost me around $600 but I don't need a bumper with it strong as all get out it lets you swing the tailgate with your tire just like stock but you can have a 37 inch tire on there if you want you can even go look up on YouTube under Teraflex tire carrier there's a sponsor on the forum northridge4x4 give him a call tell him you're on the form they might give you a good deal good luck.
