How to Determine if Front Hitch Could Fit Aftermarket Bumpers for 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Question:

I’d like to replace the factory bumper, but don’t want to interfere with the hitch. What should I look for when choosing an aftermarket bumper so that I can still run the front receiver hitch?

You'd have to reach out the bumper manufacturers and tell them what you are planning to do and they should be able to tell you if the way they designed the bumper if it could fit with a front hitch like the part # 65079 that fits your 2018 Wrangler. Our hitch manufacturers only test with factory bumpers so they won't be able to give out that info but the bumper manufacturer would know if they made the hitch to fit the stock clearances that would allow the hitch to fit.
