you get to make it yourself. Requires trimming on the rear of the cage to clear the servo, otherwise it's all bolt togethet.
All you need is all the steering parts from the front axle and another servo, and a 3 channel radio with at least a three position 3rd channel switch. Do your homework on setting up the radio as the possible options can get confusing depending on your preferences for precise control over the rear steering angle, and most cheaper 3 channel radios don't allow for proportionate, or mixing, of the rear steer.

Thanks! That's kind of what I thought I would need to do.

While I can't speak to clearance of the bomber cage, I did add rear steer to the same axle on the back of my yeti.
I used axial part set ax30831 (the front axle of bomber) and swapped in the steering parts to the rear axle.
You will need a good fast servo for the rear (faster than the front); I use a savox 1210sg with an external BEC set to 7.4 volts.
I picked up a used DX4C radio tx/rx set; this setup gives you the ability to have two active mixes, usually "mixed" and "off" (not mixed). The mix can be exponential, meaning that you can program the rear tires to steer a little, or a lot, or only when you make tight turns, so as not to upset the handling at speed. You can have additional mixes if you want to use multiple profiles, but that is awkward. The four channels leave another left over for the 2-speed transmission shifting.
It's a fun addition to the truck, and works especially well in tight trails.
