Hitch stays under there, you can get a spacer kit for it but doubt it would be worth the trouble, it's still usable the way it is.

Going to take some getting used to, sticks WAY out farther back so I'm sure we will bust our legs on it a couple of times, I would have said shins but it's way too high for that LOL!

 

Looks good!

 

Sweet, nice color.

 

I like it. I might even fab one similar but not as deep. Did you remove the back up sensors or were they not installed? Does the front match as well? Might be an interesting look for a winch bumper.

 

Is it a winch bumper or something? I can't see why it would be sticking out the rear so far.

 

Not supposed to be I don't think, that plate is ridiculously far out. Since I won't be using it for anything other than a step I am seriously considering taking the plasma cutter to it and shortening it up to a reasonable length. I will still use the receiver to pull trailers so I have no use for all that wasted steel sticking out so far....and honestly I'm not happy with the look with it like that. Matches the front bumper's look real good just a little overdone on length if you ask me.

 

My Ex has no backup sensors so no mod needed in that department. Matches the front very well. Here's a pic from when I put the front on.

 

wow can you even use the reciever hitch anymore? that back bumper has looks only its mother could love!

i like their fronts but i sure dont care about the ranchhand rears!

 

Yes you can use it, it's way up under that lip though, but when I trim it back I think it will look way better and obviously be easier to use the receiver.....I'm right with you on the looks at this point....kinda bummed but think I can fix it. It's like having a catwalk across the back LOL!

 

Having a big step is awesome if you use your roof rack a lot.

I mount a roof top tent up there and would love to have a big step like that. Would be nice and easy to mount swing outs on as well.... for a tire carrier or extra storage.

 

Looks great!

 

find a way to put your spare on that deck, it will balance it out a bit???

how long is the ex with the front and rear bumper mods??

 

Get a Lincoln-Continental wheel kit that folds down.

 

Just measured, 242.25" tip to tip. 3" of that ball plate can come off easy if I want to. Even at that it would still be a decent step and the whole bumper is deep enough to literally walk all across the back for rack access, which will be nice. It does allow future expansion for racks and acc. and such no doubt, and the spare would balance it out very nicely but the roof rack I ordered has a spare mount on it so mine will end up on top.

 

I normally like their bumpers, but it looks like they didn't spend any time to make the bumper fit to the rig. Just changed the mounts a bit so it would bolt up.

interested to see her after you shorten the width a bit. could be a very nice looking bumper afterwards
