Default Good Bumper with Tire Carrier?

I want a reasonably priced rear bumper with tire carrier, I was thinking about the smittybilt xrc or the body armor rear bumper but I am open to suggestions. Also, I have a body lift so does anyone know if I can get relocation brackets and if they are compatible?

When it comes to quality and ones I've seen in person, I would buy Poison Spyder, LOD, Hansen/PureJeep..

My dream bumper with carrier is the Poison Spyder. However, for half the cost I got the XRC, and love it.

I like the quality of my PSC bumper but it is a little cumbersome to have the tire carrier open separately from the rear door. I think the AEV one has the two connected so they open together. Smoother. But that's a piddly complaint. Overall, love it.

PSC is great, AEV is too. Both pricey but you pay for what you get

I ahve had the RR XHD bumper and swing and it was OK. I now have the LOD signature shorty with LINKED tire swing. This combo is awesome. Tire swing opens with Tailgate. The system has 4 contact points and is completely rattle free. It is customizable as well, comes standard with CB mount and HI Lift Jack mount, you can add a trail rack and a ton of gas can options. It looks bad a$$ and has two integrated lights in it that blow your stock reverse lights away. It was not cheap, but it is not the most expensive one out there either,
