I know it isn't exactly a bumper/tire carrier combination, but have you looked into the OR-Fab tire carrier?

Jeep | JEEP WRANGLER JK SWING AWAY SPARE TIRE CARRIER WITH ROTOPAX? CONTAINERS | 85209

I have it, love it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for something light weight.

I agree with B1000, OrFab tire carrier with LoD rear bumper. Especially since your not going bigger than a 34. That's what I'm running.

For me, and that's what I got since I was in the same situation a few months back, the best is the shorty LOD gen 3 with carrier independent of the tailgate.
Not being linked allows you to carry more stuff (like the trail rack, which is very useful specially for 2 doors), and the fact that if you happen to back into something like a tree or boulder, you will not damage the tailgate, since all of the impact will be taken by the bumper.

Voted other - Ace Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier. Ace gear is solid and well priced and you can usually find 10 - 20% off sales. The attached pic is the 2nd gen but they now have the 3rd gen out which is even better.

Other-Smittybilt SRC. I like the tube-style corners. Easy to install, tough, had no issues so far. Running 35's and the tire carrier is solid. Click image for larger version Name: 058.jpg Views: 284 Size: 70.1 KB ID: 504018
