I went with Body Armor front and rear bumpers. Not pleased with them at all...they started rusting in spots after 10 months installed. I called Body Armor and they don't stand behind their products at all!! The grill guard was rusted on it and I offered to even buy a new one but they told me I had to buy the entire bumper to get the grill guard...WTF happened to customer support? They are solid bumpers but the lack of customer support really irritates me! I'm looking at swapping out my Body Armor bumpers and wasn't sure which way to go until now. I think after what was said here I will go with the ACE JK Pro Series Front Bumper and Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier. These look pretty solid for the price.
Anybody interested in buying Body Armor front and rear bumpers?

I think you might find the same with many manufacturers. I have my Jeep completely wrapped in Ace steel and I have several spots on fenders and bumpers that need attention (rust converter / bed liner). Some spots got chipped during shipping and other just sort of came through powder coat. There will be more due to trail mods as well.
I have no connection to them other than being a happy customer!

Benchmark had some Quality Control issues and then a bunch of Customer Service problems (His fingers must have been broken becouse he could not return emails or phone calls) Had some very interesting products just no follow through.

LoD, solid, no tire rattle. I've had others like the Wilderness Rack which rattled and shook with 35s. Just wished it had a better Gerry can holder. Other than that, no problems

I'm going to have to give another vote to the Ace pro series rear with tire carrier. Tire swings out with the tailgate, wraps around the quarter panels and keeps them away from the rocks, and the quality is top notch, what else do you need! I think it was mentioned before, you can find them on sale from time to time, so for the money I think its a great deal as well. Also very easy to install and maintenance!
