What Bumpers fit with Rigd Rear Swing outs??

[Backcountry ADV]

Anyone have aftermarket rear bumpers and a Rigd UltraSwing?

Initial searches show a few of you guys running swing out bumpers and dual swing outs from Expedition 1, etc but I'd like to have the Ultra Swing Set up for a few reasons, primarily that I can detach it if needed. I have a couple trailers and dirt bikes, etc that would be beneficial to remove the Rigd Set up if needed. However, I'd really like to run an aftermarket rear bumper as an upgrade and for some side steps and beefier build quality.

What fits for those that have experience with the Rigd Ultraswing or similar version?? Thanks in advance.

Here's a couple pics of my rig for quick reference.

P.S. I'm running the Fab Fours Front but not sure what rear bumper yet. It's dependent on the clearance with Rigd set up at the moment.

Well I know this thread is older but in case you are still looking, I just finished up my install of the EVO High N Tight rear bumper and RiG'd Ultraswing Mega-Fit. I absolutely love the combo and it's exactly what I was looking for.

Here's a more detailed video I made yesterday with my RiG'd Ultraswing Mega-Fit

John,

thanks for posting up. That's exactly what I'm planning around. Same logic on the larger Rig'd Set up as I want the longer throw and wider base plus the ability to run larger tires if needed. Currently on 37's but geared 5:13's to be able to run 39's. Also planning to do the AMW Hemi Swap and Axles so I might end up on 40's.

That rear bumper looks super thin height-wise which appears to give more ground clearance. Is it substantially thinner than the stock bumper in height? *Dimensions

I'm glad the post helped you out. The OEM bumper is up at the shop right now and I can get some measurements tonight. Yes, I'd say the EVO is "thinner" but I don't know by how much. It's just tucked way higher due to the recovery points and receiver being raised as well.

Just a quick and dirty measurement, the OEM Rubicon bumper at the center not including the receiver hitch is roughly 8.5" thick. The Evo bumper is basically 5" thick all the way until the corners where it tapers a little bit of course.
