Hey All,

I know the subject of bumpers has been covered a good bit, but I'm having trouble deciding what to do. My truck got rear ended and the person who hit me is going to spring for the damage, and I was thinking now might be the time to get a proper bumper on the back. I can't afford all the swing away accessories now (and it doesn't feel right sticking the other party with that cost anyway), so what bumper could be a good choice. I need a tow hitch, no swingarms so I can drop the reach hatch without fussing, and my mechanic is hoping I'll find a bumper that doesn't come in pieces needing to be welded up.

Any ideas on what would be a good choice in this weird stich?
 
Are the original rear bumper parts removed yet?

Can you post up photos of the damage?
 
Good luck finding one in stock! Most builders seem to be weeks out if not months. Buy a 4x4 labs and you can add accessories later or a delta VS same thing add accessories later. If they have any available.

I like both of those and the Delta is especially appealing as they won't need to cut up the truck's rear end. Does anyone use / recommend the ARB bumper anymore? I've got an ARB on the front and the roof so might be nice to keep it similar?
 
Id go one of these but you need to make sure you have upgraded rear suspension to handle the weight
rear swingouts are optional as well
