Default Split rear bumper vs Full rear bumper

Split rear bumper I'm sure was to accommodate a rear mounted spare tire, if that is so, then with side mounted spare tire/s, should there be a full once piece rear bumper????

Hey Larry...back from the parade but not without incident. Over feckin filled it....again. Caught most of it but....after leaving the pump and when I got to the starting point, I parked on a slight incline to the right...not good!!!!!!!!!!!! That paint just around the tank opening that was bubbled...is now gone!!!!!!!!!
Other than that, ran great.................
