I don't have either, but I love the look of the LOD.
Check out there site and look at the installation instructions. That bumper has a ton of bolts holding it to the frame, and uses 3 rubber bumpers to control rattles in the carrier.
I thought this was very impressive, that bumper is not going to budge.

i installed a lod rear tire carrier on a friends jk,it looks really good 'but' the powder coating is rusting through in a bunch of spots,i don't like the latch set up and the bearing/hinge set up could be better,the bumper is less then a year old by the way. on mine i installed the expedition one and have zero complaints with it so far.
hope this helps

I have the LOD front, rear, and rock rails. I have been very happy with all of them, the powder coating on the rails didn't hold up the best after one winter but I may just have them line-x'd some day, so no biggie, and they held up great to some abuse off roading.
