JL Rear Frame Chop Bumper

Maximum Clearance Meets Maximum Strength

Say goodbye to bulky bolt-on bumpers. Our JL Rear Frame Chop Bumper is engineered for serious trail use—with a design that requires trimming your JL’s rear frame rails to dramatically improve departure angle. It’s one of the tightest-fitting bumpers available for the 2018+ Wrangler JL.

Frame Chop = Real Off-Road Gains

Using the included cutting jig, the frame chop process allows this bumper to sit high and tight—tucked in closer than any bolt-on design. This provides critical clearance for technical descents, ledges, and those tight rock trails.

Built for Recovery, Not Just Looks

Choose from 3/16" aluminum for weight savings, or 3/16" steel for extra durability. Regardless of body material, every bumper includes laser-cut, 1" thick steel recovery points that bolt directly into the JL frame and features a .900" smooth chamfered cut eyelet that is compatible with soft shackles and regular 7/8" shackles.

Clean & Functional

• Integrated cutouts for Baja Designs S2 flush-mount lights (sold separately)

⚠️ Note: This is not a plug-and-play bumper. Backup sensors must be removed or disabled. This product is intended for experienced builders and off-road enthusiasts.
