Bumper help...
Can't decide on a rear bumper. Anyone running any of these with some honest feedback?
-Body Armor JK-2394 & 5293 Rear Bumper & Tire Carrier Swing Arm (130lbs) $724 - $100 rebate
-Ace rear bumper and carrier (150 lbs ??) $685
-Any other recommendations in the same range?

Im running the Body Armor JK 2393 bumper and the JK 5292 carrier your inquiring about.
I like the bumper. Install was straightforward.
The only prob I have with the carrier is Iv had to replace the bearings once
already.
I just received the Hi Lift jack adaptor for it and the adaptor cant
be mounted vertically unless the right side gas can carrier
is mounted,Otherwise there is nothing to attatch the top of the jack to.
Not trying to disuade you from them, they are well made and the finish is great.
Im just stating the problem Iv had.
Hope this helps.

However, after reading about some shaking on the smittybuilt (another i was looking at), and now the body armor bearing having to be replaced, as well as all the positive feedback i've heard about ACE products and watching their video (specifically on the carrier bearing), i think its gonna be ACE. can't beat the price either.. thanks for sharing

FWIW, I feel that I goofed in my previous post and didnt include
other info on it.
The adaptor kit includes both a vertical and horizontal setup.
Im thinking about trying the horizontal until I get the
can mounts.
