Best place for rear step bumpers?

I have an 87 silverado. It has the nicer looking "sport" bumper, no step. Problem is, I race motocross, and I really want to use the motorcycle trailer I have. After looking and searching, there is no way a trailer hitch will mount to the frame, without removing the spare tire, which I won't do. My only other option is a step bumper. The chrome step bumpers look pretty good. LMC has them for $250. Any other recommended places to buy a chrome bumper? I will look used as well but would like something nice and shiny, not old and rusty.

Re: Best place for rear step bumpers?

Dude, I have a step bumper in pretty good shape and really want a sport bumper.
Maybe a straight up trade?
pm me if interested. I can send pics.

Re: Best place for rear step bumpers?

I am partial to the one I chose although it is not chrome. You might contact them and see what they have available.

Not sure to be perfectly honest. I'm sure some on here will know where/how to get that done if Brown's doesn't do it.
