Default Rear Bumpers without Tire Carrier

I was wonder which bumpers out there don't have huge provisions for swing away tire carriers and still has the ability to use factory tow stuff. If you can add a picture I would greatly appreciate it.

Not sure what you mean by factory tow stuff. Here is my Bestop HighRock 4x4 rear bumper. I've had this for about 1 1/2 hrs. It has a receiver for towing and I just ran the wiring harness off the frame under it. I've towed my boat and my tractor many times without and problems. It also has never budged when banging the crap out of it while rock crawling. It's been abused yet keeps holding up. I will be swapping this out soon, cuz they now have a swing out tire carrier that operates with the tail gate. Patiently waiting for when I can get it.

That's the right idea but I figured there was many more options out there.

THe Rugged Ridge XHD has an optional tire carrier and is designed to fit over your factory tow equipment. I have the bumper and the factory two group and they work very well together, actually de-modding and selling the bumper on the forum right now

Poison Spyder just released their Gen. 2 Rockbrawler rear bumper - with or without tire carrier. Bigger than the BFH, but still allows room for the tow hitch.

Hmmmmm I'll have to look at more pictures of both of those. Especially how far they stick out from the rear of the jeep.
