Poison Spyder Rear Crossmember with Receiver for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

The BFH™ II Rear Crossmember is CNC laser-cut from high strength 3/16" plate steel, then precision brake-formed for an exact fit. Dimpled lightneing holes remove unnecessary weight while creating a custom look for those who choose to run the crossmember by itself without a rear bumper to cover it. The minimalist design of the JK BFH™ II Rear Bumper provides the most ground/obstacle clearance and best departure angle possible while preserving the integrity of the Jeep JK's frame strength. Installation requires trimming the bulky rear frame rails and stock bumper mounts and welding in the new crossmember. A laser-cut steel template is provided to assist with making the right cuts. This version of the JK BFH II Rear Crossmember is designed with an integrated hitch receiver as a convenient recovery attachment or tow point. The hitch receiver is constructed of standard 2" square hitch receiver material and will accept most hitch bars. Safety chain loops are provided behind the crossmember, tucked up out of the way of rocks. IMPORTANT: in order to preserve the lowest profile and maximum departure angle, the receiver tube is slightly shorter than standard tow hitches. This may necessitate trimming of the end of some receiver bars. This also places the hitch pin into a non-standard location for tow-rating. Because of this the hitch is not technically rated for towing, even though its design is stronger than the factory tow hitch.
