Default smittybilt

I also have the smitty SRC. You can tow with it, it bolts in the same 4 holes as the factory hitch plus a couple more on each side of the frame. I pull over 2500 lbs with mine. And I believe I paid less than $800 for it. No complaints from me...

I have done lots of research and hands on comparison on front and rear bumpers and my opinion is Smittybilt XRC... I like how it uses the 4 extra bolts where the stock reciever would bolt up to and it is a full Class III hitch receiver which Smittybilt advertises so you know its all secure. I got my bumper new in box from the ads here in the classifieds section for only $650!!!! New is $899, but keep searching and choose the one you like man.

I your looking to Tow with a rear bumper with a receiver. Then the Smittybilt XRC is going to be one of your best option's. If not just get rear bumper without a receiver, and just pick up the factory receiver. You can pick up the receiver that bolt's to the factory spot on the frame, for around $69.95 online from Rough Country.
