Default Lod or Rock Hard stubby??

I'm looking for feedback on these two bumpers or anything similar that you can recommend....issues, durability, etc. Looks wise I'm leaning toward the Lod but the Rock Hard is cheaper so.... Pics would be great!

I vote for the Rock Hard 4x4 stubby. I have had mine over a year and it has held up great. It has provisions for the factory fog lights, hi-lift jacking points, and winch and light mounts on top. I couldn't be happier with mine.

I have the LOD stubby and love it. It also has provisions for the factory fogs but looks a little more finished on the ends. Build quality is great, powder coat not so good. Nothing some rattle can paint or bed liner material can't fix. What sold me on it was the way the winch sits down in the bumper between the frame rails. Looks sharp and retains good air flow to the radiator and my transmission cooler.

The Rock Hard bumpers are 1/4 inch steel, most other bumpers are 3/16. It is heavier than others its size because it is thicker steel.
