    I've been trying to search, so I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but anyone have any suggestions on bumpers with swing outs? I have oversize tires and I don't know if it's just my truck but with the stock spare I really don't think my Aftermarket spare will fit. Looking into taking advantage of (hopefully) a memorial day sale and snatch up a bumper with rear swing outs that can also accommodate my HiLift. Love it if I can get aluminum to keep weight down.

    Thanks guys!

    that's a lot of money for one of those, I know it includes a bumper but I will add new tires and a lift before I spend 1550 on a bumper with swing arm for a spare tire. IMO..

    It really is hard to justify the price, I'm just thinking weight savings over spending 1800 on an aluminum bumper with swing out

    If you have welding skills, all the parts to create both your own custom bumper as well as a custom swing arm rear gear carriers are available. Also, the more weight you put in the back the more you can ballance your trucks weight distribution front to back. My Tacoma is grossly front heavy but my Jeep is 45% to 55% making it incredibly good in the snow and mud conditions.
