Its designed to be used with the stock bumper. Basically lets you keep the stock look but have the recovery hooks and tire carrier of the aftermarket bumpers. Going this route with my Jeep, I dont like any of the aftermarket rear bumpers I have seen

I'd love one of those but I don't have the money currently (college ain't cheap) so I already have a basket so I'll just keep the tire up there till I get one of those, maybe Christmas...

the only reason i really like the rock hard ones is because it incorporates the rear rockers.....really handy if yours are rusted like mine.
