How well does the powdercoat go with the Rugged Ridge powdercoat. Are they similar in texture or appearance? I liked the Body Armor High Clearance bumper the first time I seen it, but not really partial to their rear bumpers. How are the Body Armor bumpers for strength and quality?

Sorry to hijack, does anyone know a bumper which has fogs, winch mount, and d-rings? Still for cheap but hopefully of good quality

Well I would say the Rugged Ridge XHD modular bumper. I just can't decide between the Rugged Ridge front or the Body Armor front. The Body Armor front has what looks like more clearance, but no fog light mounts. From what I've been told by Rugged Ridge, is that they redesigned the end caps for more more cleanance anyways.

I'm going with the Poison Spyder BFH for its clearance and simplicity.
Did you download the PDF? One of the Poison Spyder bumper requires you to take off the bumper then start to cut the metal part of the bumper off. It did not appear to be simple. Maybe I am looking at a different bumper though.....I am having the same problem.

As of right now the RR XHD is top on my list, its seems pretty customizable. Plus I haven't heard any complaints.

X2 on the benchmark sport mid width...winch mount, oem fog lights, and d-ring tabs, all at the same weight as your stock bumper!
