[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 453740, member: 23341"] Thanks for posting link I totally get it now . That's a cool way of doing rear bumper . The replacement cross member is pushed forward . With aluminum rear bumper tucked under body leaving only 1" of bumper actually exposed . That will give a lot of clearance for your departure angles . I've seen utube vids of guys driving off ledges and catching bumper or rear spare . It's nice how hitch is tucked right into the bumper . My rear bumper is angled up but the built in hitch sits just below . I kinda look at it like extra insurance . Will rub on bottom of hitch B4 anything else. So with yours you won't have a bumper tire carrier and I presume the weight of a spare would probably buckle the rear gate . I' m guessing 125 - 150pounds ? That I guess is the one drawback of running a big big tire is if you ever have to change one. Even in a controlled enviroment like a shop lining up lugs etc would be a bitch cause it's so heavy . Believe me my friend . They will look awesome on your Jeep . Looking forward to the next update . [/QUOTE]
