Reviews: Rugged Ridge Rear Tube Bumpers

I bought this because I wanted the back bumper to match the front "stubby" bumper that I also purchased. I was a little disappointed because I could not keep my factory tow hook installed, but I'm getting around that by purchasing a draw bar for the tow hitch with a d-ring. The hitch bolts on my factory hitch were too long for the bumper to be installed. I could not push the bumper in far enough for the frame bolts to align The solution was to put 4 washers between the tow hitch bolt heads and the frame to shorten the bolt length on the other side. That allowed enough travel for the install. The install instructions say you will have enough travel to customize the position for the look you want. That's not possible if you want to keep your factory tow hitch.
