    Hey folks,
    I own a 2020 OR that I've been slowly building up.
    I currently have rock sliders, a front skid and a truck cap.
    Yesterday I f**** up, went wheeling alone and learned the hard way all about departure angles and just how handy a shovel is.
    However, my rear bumper was sacrificed to the gods to un-eff myself.
    So I'm going to replace it with a bodyarmor 4x4 pro series rear bumper(found a great deal on one local to me, cheaper then replacing the stock one)

    How big of a hit is my stock suspension going to take from this added weight? I'm still kinda new to this world, so is there anything detrimental that could happen? I can't do a suspension upgrade until next year I figure, just no money for that right now.
    If need be, I can remove the cap for the winter. Kinda f**** that up a bit too, so not a big deal if I have to store it.

    These look nice! Can I see one with the swingout attached? No side hoops?

    I'm personally looking at Warfab's HC Rear, website claims a base weight of only 95 lbs. Doesn't seem like too tall of a task for a stock suspension in itself.

    Keep in mind that the stock rear bumper and hitch have significant weight that you will be taking off.
