Rear Bumpers Compatible OE Tow Package
If I want to keep the factory tow package, do I need to get a rear bumper that is properly notched for doing so? Or are there other options? Is it possible to install a rear with a hitch hole and keep the OE tow package?
Any recommendations?!
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

There are tons of aftermarket rear bumper options that are compatible with the OE hitch system. Are you looking for one with a tire carrier to hold larger tires, or just a replacement for the stock? What's your goal with the new rear bumper? Just looks, or is there more to it?

I'd like to find a stubby rear that will work with the stock carrier (or oversized carrier).
I'm looking at the forbidden eauto grill rear or the warrior products rock crawler. Will either of these work with my set up?!

My GenRight in aluminum works with the OE hitch and is "stubby" of sorts- it comes just to the body and not to the flares. It's notched under the tire and should fit about any size tire you want to put on there.
Also....it weighs less than 20lbs, so there is no sag on the back end.
