Rear bumper that fits 265/75/16 in stock spare location
 
Looking for a rear bumper that still allows a 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeak in the stock spare location.

Seems like the Shrockworks would work, sent them an email to confirm. It's not my favorite looking, but it's decent, tho seems a bit big.

Lighter is better, just looking for something a bit stronger then stock, also not too complicated to install by your average mechanic

The spare tire carriers do look great, and are obviously much needed for heavy offroading, but I would prefer to keep my rear window vision and not have deal with a swingout everytime I need to access the hatch. Maybe I'd get used to the swingout but I think the loss of vision would always annoy me.

Have you thought about carrying your tire on the roof? I did that with a basket and it worked like a charm and didn’t create wind noise or make it noticeably more top heavy. Also, the pictures of the spare tire carriers have 33-35” tires on them instead of your 31.5” tires so you’d have more rear visibility than most of the pictures show. I know that’s not really what you’re looking for but there’s a couple options

I actually do own a basket so I've considered that, also looks pretty cool :) but even just the basket itself creates quite a tall rig that means a lot of parking garages are out of the question. Also would be worried about thieves taking my spare just for the fresh rubber, last time I bought tires I had them install a 5th tire as the original Dueller was still on there lol

No response from Shrockworks yet...

Good point about more visibility with my smaller tires, last couple of times I drove I've tried to pay attention to how much I actually look out that part of the window. Certainly for backing up it's super nice to have a clear view

I'm sure this probably won't be helpful but I'm running the exact same tires and size and it fits in the stock spare location. I just takes a bit of placement to get it in there. I really haven't had any issues with mine fitting, just my 0.02.

Unless I read that wrong and you want to have an aftermarket bumper to replace the stock one?

Yeah I'd like to upgrade to an aftermarket bumper and keep the spare in the same stock location. My 265/75/16 wildpeak does indeed fit with the stock bumper thankfully
