No change required in the turnbuckles other than to loosen and retighten them after relocating the camper forward.  Ron

Check out Aluminess. I have their aluminum front and rear bumpers and storage box. Not the cheapest option but they work very well.

I like the CBI bumper with the swing out arm that hold the Aluminess box, jerry cans, and propane oven. The steps mounted in the hitch is very cool too!

I highly recommend CBI for what you're asking your bumper to do. They are very friendly, innovative, and skilled craftsmen that will customize their products to fit your needs (they worked patiently with me).

A couple of other options for front bumpers, both offer incredible quality and service.

Hey guys, question here I am hoping someone can answer. I have a 2016 Tacoma long bed and have a FWC Fleet on the way. I am not sure how far it will stick out of the bed but want to buy a C4 rear bumper with swing-out. My only concern is I don't know if the swingout will come into contact with the camper or not. If so, besides removing or modifying the front rubber bumpers, how would I modify the swingout to fix this possible future problem? Anyone have a 3rd gen Tacoma with a FWC that's using the C4 rear bumper? I know a guy with a CBI rear bumper and swingout that had to modify his 3 inches extension. Thanks in advance!!

I think you can buy Aluminess rear bumpers without swing arms and the extension they use for FWC's should work as well. Not sure if they make them for gen 3 Tacos yet.

I have a 2016 Tacoma, but with a fleet flatbed, so no help on bumper selection.   However, if you really want a rear bumper with swing outs, it may be worth looking for one in almuninium as stalking light suggests.   The Tacoma is really pretty maxed out weight wise with just the Fleet (unless you have an empty shell) so I would be cautious of adding several hundred pounds that far behind the rear axel.   Even with my heavily upgraded suspension, I notice when I have my 1up hitch mount bike rack and two mtbs hanging off the back, and not in a good way.

I put this hitch step in my rear hitch - it is kind of like a mini bumper extending some protection for the camper.  I am on my 3rd one - the first I did back into a post and it protected the camper, the second took a hit on a sharp 4wd road incline - take it out if the road has steep transitions - makes the rear end too long.  I like it for parking, etc - will protect someone from bumping the camper.  Wouldn't do a lot in a big crash, but for the little things it's great - and pretty cheap.

Our 3 step step ladder fits perfect behind it (the wife likes that).  For just me I will usually just use the hitch step.
