Default Help me deside on a rear bumper for my jk!

Im trying to deside what i want to run as a rear bumper on my jk. Ill be running 37in toyos so i will need something pretty heavy duty and i also want it to be a stubby. There are tons of options out there so tell me your ideal setup. Ive thought about running the or fab tire carrier with a posion spyder rear bfh or with rear evo frame end caps with d ring mounts. I have alot of ideas going through my head so im going to start a poll to give you an idea of the kind of bumpers i like if you select other please list and tell why thanks. I might leave out some really good bumpers im just doing this off of the top of my head so list what i miss.

The xrc seems like a good bumper for the price where did you purchase yours?

I picked the lod but the expedition one is by far my favorite and on my build list.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was your EO bumper? I can't find one for less than $1500.

I'll show my favorite
LoD stubby....lots of add on options for later on if you want (racks, fuel) and the hitch sits up real high.
The 3rd gen LoD has the swingout integrated with tailgate like the Expo One.



Might look at Rock Hards bumper for protection of the tub behind the rear wheels also. Not a stubby, but close.

I really like the lod stubby I like being able to add options to it that I want. I like there front stinger as well. If I was to run lod sliders the rear stubby and the front stinger wouldn't this cause my lift to sag a considerable amount I no there products run heavy but they look sweet.
