Easy install, looks great. Really like the integrated back lights.

Happy with my shorty rear bumper/tire carrier. No rattles, and beefy. One down side is that it hangs pretty low, as it is a big bumper--I've bashed it plenty of times with only powdercoat scratches.

X2 I've been thinking about selling mine because everytime I come off a ledge I smack and drag my bumper. It's a great bumper with no issues and as many times as I have whacked it on a obstacle it still doesn't rattle. So really it's more of where my wheeling style has changed then the bumper itself.

Best bet is a rear stretch.

There are not many options for more clearance in the rear. The LoD is flush with the rear crossmember, so nothing can sit higher. You might get something that sits a little closer in, but I doubt that will make a difference when dropping off a ledge.

It definitely tucks in tight. Unless you have some speed, it will still hit a ledge on the way down. It would make a difference on a really steep approach though.

I've had the full width LOD on my 08. It's big, heavy, and always whacked the corners whenever coming down on a steep rock. It got annoying. It never rattled, solid, and carried a lot of gear, which was nice. But overall it just felt too bulky for rock crawling.
I had the ORFAB too. Nice design, but ultimately I felt it stuck out way too far. And mounting the spare via a t-handle bar was a pita by yourself.
I tried the teraflex... Simple, clean, easy install, zero rattles. Didn't like the design for adding accessories like hilift & fuel cans.
My 2013 has the Genright. Zero complaints so far. Still trying to fine tune the mechanism to close/open effortlessly, but other than that I'm wicked happy with it. It's also super light, even for the steel version.
Just my .02 cents.
