I am unfamiliar with the Barden Bumper and in my research, I could not find any specific information regarding the Barden Bumper. Our trailer hitches are not tested with aftermarket bumpers.

We have two bumpers that have been determined to be a fit for your truck with a factory bumper. The # BWHDRH25122 is for standard and step bumpers and the # BWHDRH25198 is for deep drop bumpers. I recommend measuring from your frame to the bottom of your bumper to know how much distance you will need for your hitch to clear your bumper. The # BWHDRH25122 measures 5 inches from the frame to the top of the hitch receiver. The # BWHDRH25198 measures 7-3/8 inches from the frame to the top of the receiver.

I have attached photos of these trailer hitches with their measurements for you.
