    I'm looking for advice on a good rear bumper replacement. My left rear bumper got cabbaged by some coward in the local Lowes parking lot who hit it hard enough so the plastic broke off and then left the scene. Store videos were useless. Anyway, I'm not looking for anything fancy just more rugged than the OEM plastic one and is cut for the tow package. Being able to step on the top is helpful as well to tie stuff to the rack. Just a simple unbolt the old and bolt on the new.

    TRD Pro suspension with Headstrong 3 Leaf AAL, DV8 OR front slimline bumper & Engine Skid Plate, RCI OR high clearance bumper, CaliRaised Trail Edition Sliders, Spidertrax 1.25" Wheel Spacers, 265/75 16 GY Duratracs, wrapped the OEM wheels, OR Roof Rack, Extang Exceed Hard top Tri fold tonneau.
    I replaced mine with an RCI High Clearance that i bought unused off of Craigslist. It has been a great bumper for me as my bike rack doesn't drag on the ground when on some of the trails I frequent.

    I have the 4Xinnovations rear bumper and I like it. It fits well with the look of the truck, but is MUCH stouter than the stock bumper. It's a bit of trouble to install, but not any more difficult than you would expect an aftermarket bumper to be. It has a little bracket up under it for the tow package plug, too.

    It comes as bare steel, so you do need to paint it yourself or have it painted someplace. I used the Rust-Oleum Massey Ferguson Grey spray paint over Rust-Oleum Professional spray primer and sealed it with clear automotive spray enamel (I think that was also Rust-Oleum). This combo has worked very well for me.
