Good evening all,

I'm looking to replace my rear bumper to hold a soon-to-be-installed set of 35s. I have a 2014 Rubi Unlimited with factory tow hitch. Primary use is highway but I will be doing some occasional mild offroading for hunting. I was looking at the PSC original RockBrawler rear bumper (not the II, as it has a hitch), but I don't like the fact that I need to delete/relocate the license plate with that bumper, nor do I like that it does not open with factory tailgate.

Starting my bumper hunt all over again, here are my requirements:

- Single-pull swingout with the tailgate.
- No license plate relocation.
- Works with factory tow hitch.
- High quality.
- Good warranty.

So far, the only one that seems to match my wish-list is the Warn Elite (only thing I'm not sure I like about that one is that the tire sits slightly off center, but I can get over that kind of thing).

Any other suggestions on rear bumpers that might fit what I'm looking for?

Thanks in advance to all that can help out.

Want to buy mine for $500, located in NYC?

That's a little further than I want to travel - what brand is that?

I highly recommend the Ace rear bumper/tire carrier

though you can't get it without the trailer hitch...I got the last one they had that didn't have a trailer hitch.

now they put a hitch on every one.

it opens nicely along with the tailgate and it handles my 37" just as well as it did the 33"

Check out Rockhard 4x4.

I have their front and rear bumper plus the rock guards. They are awesome. Quality American made powder coated black.







As you can see it has a built in hitch

Not to steer you away from a bumper ( i recommend one ) but what about the teraflex tire carrier? 35 will fit without issue and you can save on weight for DD. Keeps your hitch and factory door operation. I only replaced my bumper because of wheeling and crawling. Doesnt take much dragging to rip the factory one apart.

the LOD short and full width will do the job and look decent

Weight isn't a factor? Some of those swing away carriers are damn heavy. I had an LOD fully loaded, switched to teraflex.

Yeah the Ace rear bumper +!tire carrier is 190 pounds, but my spare is like 80 pounds, and the bumper has their lifetime off-road guarantee

Can bumpers with integrated hitches be used with the factory installed hitch? I'm just trying to avoid a 'double-hitch' look, if you guys know what I mean.
