Been having a heck of a time finding a rear bumper with tire carrier that would ALLOW me to KEEP my existing class III tow equipment located below the OEM bumper location AND mount a tire on back.
Something that looks good, does not weight 250 pounds (ala Smitty), and allows me to relocate the tire outside onto a swing arm. Short of having one fabricated (I am not against this) does any company make a decent looking bumper that does not extend so low that it blocks the standard hitch? Wanting something that looks better than a slab of rectangular stock.
I am not looking for a Jeep XJ tire carrier. They hang way too low for my use. So thanks ahead of time for that suggestion, lol. I want to avoid anything like the smittybilt XCR because one, its too @#$% heavy by far, and the forward edge hangs way too low even if I was not using my existing hitch. Rock Scoop anyone? All the rest of the units I find that are better quality, all incorporate a hitch and sit lower than I need. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!
