Description
By itself or used in conjunction with the JK BFH II Rear Bumper, this Built For the Hammers crossmember strengthens the Jeep JK Wranglers rear frame when trimmed for maximum ground clearance and departure angle. 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 lightening holes remove unnecessary weight while creating a custom look for those who choose to run the crossmember by itself. The minimalist design of the JK BFH II Rear Bumper provides the most ground/obstacle clearance and best departure angle while preserving the integrity of the Jeep JKs 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. The BFH II Rear Crossmember may be used by itself as an ultra-minimalist, high clearance rear bumper. But it is designed to be used with the Poison Spyder BFH II Rear Bumper. The bumper fits over the crossmember like a glove. This combination provides the frame-strengthening characteristics of the crossmember along with the aesthetics of the BFH II Rear Bumper. This version of the JK BFH II Rear Crossmember is designed with an integrated hitch receiver as a convenient recovery attachment or tow point. This 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. 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. Installation requires cutting of stock frame rails and welding! Application: JK. Part list: (1) JK BFH II Rear Crossmember / (1) JK BFH II Rear Frame Cut Template
