I'll be pulling the trigger on a Rusty's off road rear bump in the next few days. Worth a look on their website.

I went with the GenRigiht aluminum rear and a TeraFlex HD Hinged carrier, saved a lot of weight when compared to normal steel bumpers.

I have the OR-Fab and like it. Def fits what you want and I think 4 wheel parts price matched it for 385 with free shipping(told them about amazon price). Heres a pic

I have a smaller and light bumper from body armour. Shackle points. I love the clearance it has. No issue with getting in way wheeling and its light! Mounted it easily by myself.

I love my BFH bumper. Don't leave out the Fischer 4x4 tire carrier.

How much frame do you have to trim for the BFH? I'm assuming you can't keep a hitch receiver?

You cut off the crossmember. If you have a little skill you can make yourself a new crossmember with a hitch built in.

I run an or fab tire carrier with a body armor high clearance rear bumper. Works just fine, seems well built, and was cheap. The powder coat is no the best, but it was less than 300 bucks.

I really like the TF hinge setup, but I just can't see myself paying that much for it plus a bumper.

Dude, I am digging your set-up! I just bought the same tires and having them put on this week. Wow, they look sick!!
