What are some bumpers that provide bed protection similar to factory Rubicon bed rails?

This JCR bumper looks like it would do the trick and has integrated step. The good thing on this is that you can install the dual or single swing arm to reposition you spare tire to behind the tailgate.....if that is something that you want.

Wow, lots of great options. Thanks for the info. I found a Rubi take off bumper complete for $350 bucks. I am going to throw that on for now but definitely have some great options for the next round of bumper upgrades...

Here are a few that I know of that haven't been mentioned. Also Rugged Ridge told me a while back there rear will protect the sides & should be available late July/Early August.

looks like that one would protect the taillights as well, cool

Just watched the install video on this & realized it has an integrated hitch behind the license plate.. That means above all the other options here there is like 6 extra inch's of for the departure angle.. Thats gold right there..

Expedition one sent me this pic.. This is one of the cleanest options I think. Price isnt bad compared to most of them here either.

I think you and I have commented in just about every rear bumper thread and share mostly the same opinion. The Exp 1 bumper was my first choice until JCR came out with theirs. The JCR is expensive but the extra clearance by moving the hitch receiver behind the license plate was noted when I found my hitch on every other obstacle last time out. Taking advantage of their military/responder 10% discount I decided to buy once cry once. As noted on their page the spare tire spot will still be limited to 35" tires, no big deal for me. The nice part is the ability to add a carrier to the bumper at a later date if so desired. I'll post up a review once I get it on my JT.

I’ve heard there’s some fitment issues with the JCR and they don’t line up level bumper with slide plates. But other then that I do like the hitch relocation.

I guess I'll find out first hand. I like the way it lines up in all of their pics parallel with the crease in the bedside.
