GX 470 Rear Bumper Recommendations

Greetings all. I am currently in the middle of a GX 470 build and I'm looking for recommendations for a rear bumper with tire carrier. I've spent some time reading up on the subject and. with the exception of a just a few forum threads, there's not a ton out there with regard to opinions about the different 470 rear bumpers and their vendors.

I'd like some recommendations based on real-world experience with the bumper and the company it was purchased from. My priorities are strength/quality of the build, ground clearance and quality of vendor. I am willing to sacrifice some ground clearance for a bumper that gets really great reviews, however. Beyond potentially needing to paint it, I'm looking for a finished, complete unit (currently welding up a Coastal Offroad front bumper and I'd like to avoid having to weld up another bumper) that will require only OEM bumper removal/trimming and bolting up the new unit with minor modifications.

Thanks for any input on this topic. Hopefully it will benefit others as well.

I will be going with them when I need a rear bumper.

I can fit my 285/70/17 in the stock location (deflated) so haven't pulled the trigger yet. Once I rip off my bumper though....

They do great work (did the rear suspension on my Tundra), 2 man operation so be patient. Highly recommend.

I have a R4T rear bumper and a bison gear tailgate tire mount. I had a dual swingout bumper on my last GX and hated it. Would not buy one again. Makes it a pain in the ass to get to your cargo area. Also the prices are absurd for one of those, you don't get much out of it that you can't get with the Bison Gear mount.
