Rear Bumper

Off-road rear bumpers protect the back of your rig, sharpen your departure angle, and add recovery points plus mounting space for spare tires and jerry cans. Steel rear bumpers from ARB — including rear step towbars for Land Cruisers — take the hardest use. Backwoods Adventure Mods and Cali Raised Off-Road cover Toyota trucks, American Expedition Vehicles handles RAM, and CAtuned Off-Road builds for Sprinter vans. A bumper-mounted spare carrier starts to matter once your tire outgrows the factory location.

The trade-off is weight over the rear axle, and some designs replace the factory hitch — the price of protection and carrying capacity the stock bumper was never built for.
