    I'm looking for an aftermarket rear bumper that supports the factory tow hitch and was wondering if any of you guys could help me figure out my options as there's a lot of bumpers out there available that can't necessarily support the factory tow hitch.

    Or is it better to ditch the factory tow hitch and get a bumper with a hitch included?

    Here's some, prices have gone up because of steel. I'd keep the factory hitch, other opinions may differ and I'm sure you'll get an earfull.

    This is my favorite if you don't need the rear shizzle parking or bsm or whatever it is.

    Are there any after market bumpers that work with the BSM sensors?

    from what I've seen so far there are options where you can add BSM holes to it

    liking this one so far compared to the other ones tbh, the FabFours seem to bulky and the Body Armor is more for aesthetics and had its fair share of bad reviews

    how much does the ADD weigh? and does it really support factory hitch?

    I really like the Body Armor Desert bumper. It's plenty solid for anything I would want to do with it.
