Currently the truck has a topper and stock bumper in the rear. I'll be replacing the reverse bulbs with much brighter LED ones as well as adding an LED license plate mounted bar. I also am replacing the license plate bulbs with LED units as well.

I figure that should give me plenty of normal reverse lighting and plate lighting in the back, but I'm thinking of also adding some Rigid 4" cube lights into the bumper and hooking them to one of the upfitter switches. I haven't really seen any off road rear bumpers that I've liked much that still retain the backup sensors. Curious what setups you guys are running.

I currently have a pre-runner style tube front bumper, so if I change the rear bumper I'd need something to match it. But yea, most of the aftermarket bumpers have spots to mount the rear lighting.

I bought the license plate bulbs and reverse lights from offroadalliance. Great guys there, knowledgeable, fun. The S2 reverse light kit is bright as hell (like blind a tailgater bright) and it’s been wired to my upfitter switch and reverse light. That’s all that I need.

Edit: the S2 lights I chose are Baja Designs

Sounds like some good reverse bulbs in the tails, license plate lights, and some cube lights is plenty for the rear then. I'm debating if I wanna change rear bumpers or just keep the stock one.
