Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the strongest and most durable Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier that comes fully loaded, standard.The RH4x4 Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is one of our favorite products. Not only is it the only rear bumper with integrated tire carrier made out of 3/16" x 2" x 4" thick plate steel, it's also the easiest to use. We've seen people struggle to open or close their tire carrier cage and thought, "that'll never be me". That never will be you with our proprietary dual-stage latching mechanism and "pre-load" design to prevent vibration and wobbling.
Our Rear Bumpers are full width to protect your vulnerable corner panels and tail gates. With end plates designed to provide maximum departure angle and clearance, our design prevents you from getting "hung up" on tough trails and sharp, off camber turns. Plus, with oversized tires, rubbing and tire gouging is never a concern.
Strength and FunctionYour rear bumper has the potential to take more abuse than any other body armor on your Ford. Whether its on road traffic collisions or off road rock damage, you need some serious armor to keep you safe. High clearance corners, user friendly "1-finger operation" latch, and a weather resistance finish make this rear bumper combo a no brainer.
The secret to our tire carrier's success is our in house designed and constructed hub assembly. Instead of a single bearing system like competing models, we use a dual bearing and race combo for smooth and consistently reliable operation. See our components section below for complete details.
All this strength adds up to one of the best spare tire size carrying capacities on the market: a massive 37" tire!
Ease of InstallationIt does not take a PhD to install the best rear bumper and tire carrier on the market. No welding is required and the truly bolt on design makes your garage your own off road shop.
