Question Front and Rear Bumpers: Poison Spyder or LOD

So here is my question to anyone and everyone... I'm saving up to buy front and rear bumpers. I'm looking to buy either Poison Spyder or LOD bumpers. I like the looks and styling of both and both of them have cutouts for lights. I'm liking the brawler bar on the front bumper, originally I was going to go with a stinger. Also the rear bumper with tire carrier, no need to go cheap and just get plain ole bumper. They are both similar priced and both seem like they are good builds. I have personally seen both on Jeeps here and look great. So question time... Is one brand better than the other??? Is one tougher than the other??? Would it be worth it to pay to have them installed or just do it myself? I'm pretty good with the wrenches and I have several friends that could help out if needed. So I'm looking for any and all input from everyone. Also is there a different brand that you would advise with similar looks and price. Thanks for your time and input.

Just to muddy the waters a bit, you can also run both! I'm running LOD midwidth front and poison spyder bfh rear...

Bumpers are an easy DIY install. Definitely install them yourself! You'll feel like a chump if you don't and pay to have it done, lol!

AHHHHHH lol you defiantly didn't make it easier but yea I'll probably do it myself. Also has anyone heard of Rampage Bumpers, they have the lights in them as well and don't look bad. I'm not making this easier on myself by looking at every dang bumper out there lol.... I NEED HELP LOL

I love my LoD's and definitely recommend being an awesome look and sturdy build. Can't comment on the PSC's. I haven't noticed Rampage for the JK but I had one on my TJ and thought it was the best looking bumper out there and nobody else had one.

They are both great brands, it' really preference.

I personally went with OR-Fab. Much cheaper and real quality stuff made right in the US.

I just got PSC front and rear bumpers. They are amazingly well built. Solid good looks with a fairly straight fwd install.
