Default Which rear bumper to get.... /pouts :p

Helllllloo,

I'm currently on the hunt for a nice looking rear bumper preferably with a tire carrier.
I have a stubby stinger on the front and have xenon narrow fenders. But the biggest
Problem I'm running into is the bumpers already have receiver hitches on them, I got
a tow package -.- any help greatly appreciated, would prefer not to sell some limbs or
organs to pay for a bumper haha. Oh and pictures would be lovely too :3

Thanks again for the help ))

Subscribed. Looking for the same thing. Are you worried about weight at all?

Yeah a tad, I currently have 33s looking to upgrade to 35s and stop but
I guess that's what a lot of people say ha. I was looking at the Rancho
with tire carrier, but I cant decide if it is ugly or not

does not look like it would offer much corner tub protection. I am looking for a new rear bumper. I want light weight and some tub protection.

Hahahaha of course you of all people had to run across my
post. So much for getting a discount now, just kidding. It'll
probably be the best bet, don't like the idea of a stubby and
longer in the back.

Check out the Poison Spyder Rockbrawler rear bumper, not the Rockbrawler 2. You can use your factory hitch with it.

I had the same issue. I went with the body armor rear bumper and will be adding the tire carrier soon.

The body armor there doesn't have a tire carrier so you'd be looking at adding the TF hinge or otherwise. That being said....Genright has a similar bumper to the looks of the body armor but the gaps are much closer. It allows you to retain your factory hitch.
