As far as bumpers I think the Smuggler is it. I remeber reading that someone (AEV I think) made a winch mount that would mount between the frame rails in the back, but it requires relocation of the exhaust.

yeah, but another member just posted something about this and the spare is definitely in the way, so have to remove it, or swing the door or tire carrier open and keep it open during the recovery.

I have more than the 10" of clearance needed between the stock reciever and stock tire. I guess it would all depend on tire size and the bumper used. I would be willing to guess most any carrier using the stock reciever and a tire less than 35" would work. You may run into issues with bumpers mounting the receiver into the bumper.
