So out with the spare now the delima is which rear bumper tucks up nice and has provisions to run the towing package or has an integrated receiver I won't be towing anything heavy but it's a must have. All suggests will be viewed thanks for reading this post and giving me your feedback.

You have any pictures of it without the rear swing away or spare? My spare will sit in my room unless I decide to take a road trip.

Anyone have detailed pictures of how the poison spyder BFH mounts I think I got a brilliant idea just wanna see the mounts first.

Sure, here's my bfh mount. Reuses the 2 factory bolts shown and adds one bolt (gold colored) near the end of the frame, which be warned you have to do a fair bit of cutting on the frame end for this bumper.

You think it would be possible to locate a receiver hitch with that bumper?

Not on your life.

The rear crossmember the factory receiver is bolted to went out with the trash 2 months ago when I installed this bumper. So I now have no crossmember under the bumper.

You will have to fabricate something for a new rear crossmember or do a major rework of the bumper itself to do a receiver with this bumper.

Sure, but its dark here now so the pics may not be ideal. There is about 2.5" or so between factory muffler and the bottom edge of the bumper...
