Looking for a new higher clearance rear bumper. Really looking at the Motobilt Gladius or Tomahawk.

Gladius is cheaper and gives another 5" of clearance, but no way to add a hitch.
Tomahawk gives ultimate clearance and can add a high tuck hitch in the future.

What else is out there that isn't over 2k.

Don't have a spare underside and don't really need a hitch though it would be nice to have the ability to add and take off. Don't really mind cutting the bed corners. Don't mind having the plate mounted on the gate.

No cutting the body but rear resonator has to go I think!

Relentless was at the top of my list. But from everything I have read they have a very long wait time, not really wanting to pay for something and wait 3 months for it to ship.

Maybe I will give them a call and see what their wait times are looking like now.

I just ordered the Artec comp rear bumper myself. On sale right now. You can mount a winch behind it or a hitch but that's more $$$

Looks great, it is the cut version? How long did it take them to get it to you?

I just ordered it, I don't have it yet. I've heard as long as 3 months.

Pictured is the cut version. They have a not cut option as well.

I picked up a Relentless with lights tow plug and flip plate for $1000 so keep a eye out on facebook. These are very well made and braced every way possible.

Just ordered mine. He says they have a few on backorder and are expecting the steel in by the end of the week. Was optimistic they would have it to me by the beginning of April.

Comes powder coated and free shipping got me.

Oh hell yeah, thanks for checking. I've got a 6,000 mile cross country road/wheeling trip planned for June so I was just hoping I'd get mine before then

I am headed to Sand Hollow and Moab for 2 weeks in the middle of April. It will be close for me, worst case the OE bumper might sustain some damage.

Some of those look really great, too great possibly.
If you plan on carrying a spare in stock location then some of those are too high clearance.
