Default lod bumpers

I have the lod midwidth front bumper with warn winch and expedition one rear bumper with tire carrier. They are both solid and imo look great. The front bumper has a custom plate holder which flips up when the winch is needed. (not yet so far). No issues with either so far.

Thanks everyone for you input. I spoke with Chris today and ordered both front shorty and rear linked shorty. Tom Petty said it best...the waiting is the hardest part...

I'll post up pics when I get everything on.

I second that ~ love mine. Always get lots of compliments.

I've got the LOD full width front bumper and it's awesome. I'm going to be ordering the rear soon.

I don't exactly have what you're asking for, but I went with the LOD front Mid-Width and Full-width Rear with t/c. It only took about six weeks for both to come in and I ordered directly from the company. Install was easy with both, only took a few hours, and couldn't be happier with how they look on my setup. I have zero complaints with them so far. The guy I talked to even hooked me up with their zinc-coated sets on both bumpers for free cause I had trouble looking at their site.

When you get the bumpers I'd definitely suggest an extra set of hands, they are heavy, and setting them up for measuring is a pain without help, and I would also suggest at least a 3" lift with any set of bumpers that heavy, they'll sag your rig a bit unless you have heavy duty coils.

If you're gonna install a superwinch on the bumper, let them know when you order. I didn't and ended up having to drill holes in the winch plate to center it up. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Wish they would have had a note on the website or something.
