Trying to Decide on Rear Bumper

[WILDHOBO]

I’ve been rabbit holing on the net for weeks regarding a good replacement rear bumper. My requirements are good either integrated or add-on bed sliders, compatibility with a hitch for actual towing (currently have Oem receiver), higher clearance than stock, sensor holes for Oem sensors. Not a deal breaker, but my preference would not be to put the plate on the tailgate. Even if it needs to be removed or flipped up for wheeling.

Price does matter unfortunately. My second steel mopar bumper is still viable, so if it’s too expensive right now, it can go back on for now.

I like the Savvy stuff, and it’s on this list, but I’m not crazy about the bed protection. This one from cavfab doesn’t look bad. But I’m open to suggestions. That’s the reason for this thread. Thanks!

Relentless Fabrication, my fav, but OEM spare won’t fit although a member here got one and gave me the measurements, might fit a little flattened! It’s high and tight, great bedside protection,built in hitch behind plate, no cutting of bed like others , resonator has to go I think. About $1650 raw! My favorite for looks and design….Jack

Checking that one out. Thanks. Wasn’t on my radar.

Yup just down the road from me. I've actually talked to the owner.

Savvy and Artec have been the ones I’ve looked at. That Relentless above looks very nice though. I like that plate where the spare fits. Not sure how it would work in Cali deleting the resonator though.

I’ll maybe call them to see if the spare delete is required. I’d rather leave it where it is. I like savvy, except for no bed sliders. I’ll check out Artec.

I believe relentless has a setup to accommodate a swing away rear tire carrier.

I’m open to that, you know, as long as it’s not 4 grand.

Swing away are a no go for me out here. JT is long enough as it is. Heck I hit the spare with the LJ on some trails!!

Definitely a concern.

I really like the look, but I can’t tow with it. Thanks as always though.

It’s probably second so far. It’s negative is the lack of bed sliders.
