Looking for some advice from you experts.

I have an 11 JKUS that I have added 35" tires and a 3" lift. As you know, these are decent sized/heavy tires and the shop owner told me that I should invest in a tire carrier/bumper combo to help with the weight for offroading.

I use my JK to tow a boat, so my questions/ask for advice are:

1) If I get an aftermarket bumper/tire carrier, are there any that will allow me to keep my stock 2" receiver?

2) If not, is there a bumper/tire carrier combo you would recommend that includes a 2" receiver that would work for towing? I've only seen a few with the receiver integrated but they had disclaimers that said "not for towing, for use with accessories only." That won't help me

Thanks!

 

My Poison Spyder rear bumper leaves space to use the stock hitch

 

The GenRight also allows you to retain the stock hitch.


As far as- "Not for towing", it's a simple liability thing that they don't want to invest in the research and testing that's needed. It's not that it won't pull your trailer safely.
