Ahh, I see your point. Makes sense they offer their own hitch

is this a new offering by Hefty or just something they don't list on their site. did they mention a $?It might. Not sure if anything is in the the way or not. I had the factory hitch. I didn't like how it hung below the bumper a lot as I drug it in rocks in Moab. The Hefty hitch is high clearance and almost parallel to the bottom of the bumper. Note this bumper is tight to the bottom of the rear crossmember adding to the clearance.
This is the 2nd one of these bumpers made, with a few revisions/updates. Last one was done about 4yrs ago. A few swingout versions were built in between that first one and this one. They are one offs so you need to call them for lead times and current pricing. These get built in between line runs. I want to say I put my deposit down in September.is this a new offering by Hefty or just something they don't list on their site. did they mention a $?
Looking good! When is the Becky arriving?Some fresh rear bumper goodness from Heftyfabworks. Clean and simple just the way I wanted it.
Now onto the lighting project.

That would require me ordering one first.Looking good! When is the Becky arriving?
That's über sweet! Is their hitch rated/tested?They don't list them on the site and they have to be built one off so lead times vary. But I am stoked with the way it came out and bonus.... it's AL so I added only about 50lbs to the rear including their high clearance hitch. Hitch portion is steel.
@cosportRear bumper looks really nice. The lines flow with the factory caps very well.
Their design is built stronger then the OEM hitch that you can buy for the rear cross member. It holds the same pull rating at OEM though because of the attachment location. No modifications to the crossmember.That's über sweet! Is their hitch rated/tested?
as tight as that looks does it basically just wrap the rear frame member? Any mods to the frame member for the hitch? It looks great!
They really don't match. The radius corners are more so tied to the front radius corners on their front bumper so the bumper designs match. That being said it looks nicely matched from a lot of angles. I like it though because the bumper sticks out further to protect the plastic bits from carts at the mall.@cosport
How does the Al radiusing match with the factory corners? It's hard to tell from the lighting.... Could you do a near straight down shot showing the plastic bumper cover to the HF Al?
Kewl, so the bumper.moints up to the frame where the OE hitch does, and the rear cross member?Their design is built stronger then the OEM hitch that you can buy for the rear cross member.

Oh yeah, that's a good designThey really don't match. The radius corners are more so tied to the front radius corners on their front bumper so the bumper designs match.

Well hell, can you show the front bumper too?They really don't match. The radius corners are more so tied to the front radius corners on their front bumper so the bumper designs match.

Only steel is the hitch itself connected with the 6 bolts in the center of the crossmember. Bumper is all AL and connects as well with the 4 bolts on the crossmember and the factory hitch points on the frame rails. The hitch only rated for what OEM specs are on that center section mount. Not a full hitch that is attached to the frame rails as well.Kewl, so the bumper.moints up to the frame where the OE hitch does, and the rear cross member?
The pintle hitch (AFAIK) doesn't carry the full 6500# as the tube hitch, but if this bumper's steel hitch framing mounts on the frame where the tube hitch does (and more) then that makes sense it'd carry full hitch rating with the badass bonus of being lower profile than the pintle hitch.
What's the co$t on this bumper?
Sounds Iike steel framing and Al skin...?

You would have to reach out to Heftyfabworks for current pricing and lead time. Since these are done as one offs in between batch runs of his main products lead times can vary. My starting price was $2395.00Kewl, so the bumper.moints up to the frame where the OE hitch does, and the rear cross member?
