93 pickup rear bumper w/ integrated hitch?
I spent a bunch of time searching the forum but most existing threads are old with broken links or out-dated info....
Just bought a 93 4x4 extra cab pickup. The rear stock bumper is a little banged up, and there is no receiver hitch. Since I want a 2" hitch to carry my bike rack (I do not plan on towing any real weight), I figured I could buy a low-profile tube bumper with an integrated hitch like this one and have everything I need for less than the cost of a new receiver hitch and stock bumper. But I can't find anything besides this and I don't think I wanna go that high in price right now.
Does what I am looking for even exist? Am I going to have to watch craigslist and junk yards closely to find what I'm looking for? Or is there a low-profile rear bumper with integrated hitch that I can buy somewhere? Can I modify a Jeep bumper to fit my truck?

Trail Gear makes one. Not sure if it's technically rated for towing, but mine seems sturdy enough. Not that expensive new, but if you watch Craigslist you might be able to find a used one for a bit cheaper and slap a coat of spray paint on it.

I did see this one, and I'm not a fan of how "cagey" it looks... really just want something real basic looking. But beggars cant be choosers I guess...

the smittybilt bumpers for these trucks are far form low profile. they hang incredibly low. also, they have not been produced in many years, so they only way youll find one is craigslist or facebook marketplace. whats your price range? for less than 300 bucks you can have a new bumper and a rated tow hitch from rock auto. 148 bucks for the bumper and 140 for a class 2 or 180 for a class 3. above you mentioned you didn't like the tube style bumpers, your not going to find a high clearance plate style bumper for less than 300 bucks.
