Default What options are there for low profile rear bumpers?
I like the PS BFH rear bumper but Im not a huge fan of cutting into the frame to mount it.
What other options are there that are similar? I will not be running a rear tire carrier in the foreseeable future.

I have a PS brawler lite front bumper so I prefer to avoid a tubular style rear despite them being quite affordable.

I'm running the MetalCloak rear bumper. I chose it because it doesn't stick out too far from body.

I ran my JK for 2 years using the Hi-Lift as my rear bumper before finding something that I was happy with. I reused some of the factory rear bumper brackets to hold the Hi-Lift in place. Ended up buying the JCRoffroad Stubby bumper and absolutely love it!!!
