Rear Bumper that relocates 2" receiver

[elotsip]

I'm trying to find all the bumpers our there that relocated the 2" receiver to give the Gladiator a better departure angle.
I've got DV8: https://www.quadratec.com/p/dv8-offroad/ultra-slim-high-clearance-rear-bumper-gladiator-jt-rbgl-05
and JC Offroad: https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/JTRV.html

Is anyone aware of any others? I really like the JC bumper but $1400 is pretty steep. The DV8 one is okay but you have the also buy the rear rocker guards for another $350

Let me know if anyone else makes any.

I have looked for the same thing off and on. I do not think anything below that is going to be found and still retain the 2" hitch relocated.

I emailed Shrockworks and asked them consider doing this since they haven't released a JT bumper yet. Finders crossed.

This one also has a tire carrier option, but if the JC offroad is steep,this one will be too

I would steer clear of DV8 bumpers. Their "coating" on the bumpers has always had issues. Its not powdercoat and its not a paint. Its almost like a cheap rhino lining. I had a rear tire carrier on my JK that I got because it was cheaper than the rest. Started rusting around the spindle within 3 months. I have front and rear bumpers from them and anywhere it makes a hard angle, the "coating" has started to come off and I'm seeing rust too. I'm about to take them both off, send them to the powercoat place down the street and be done with it.

Thanks, that's good info.

but the receiver makes a good bash guard? rather hit that then the bumper ?

But you get up to 4 more inches of not hitting anything.

Recessed behind the plate on a YJ plate spring mount. That would be sweet, I assume that it’s not done because it’s probably a PITA to have the bumper rated for towing.

Keep in mind, aftermarket bumpers with built-in receivers will have no tow rating.

They will tell you it SHOULD handle what the OEM is rated for.

A nice thing about the Red Summit one, the hitch and tow points are mounted directly to the frame, so the bumper doesn't take any stress from towing or being towed.
