So i am really close to pulling the trigger on the "XRC" rear bumper/tire carrier and after reading the entire thread (ya...really) i still have a couple of questions.

first- For those that used a spray on bedliner, how has it held up? Any pics of what the bumper looks like bedlined (spray on)?

second- Did you notice much coil sag after installing bumper/tire carrier/spare? I love how high mine sits with my RC 3.5" lift w/ stock bumpers (front is "stubbied") but am concerned that it is going to noticeably sag in the rear once the new bumper/carrier is installed.


thanks!

I have my front and read bumper for sale now. Went with more low profile bumpers but I have loved my setup for 2 years. The front held up great and only minor surface rust. The rear has significantly more and rusted under their bedliner. Also, the tire carrier handle's finish started to flake and dimple so I bought a new handle (never got around to installing it). I did upgrade all the hardware to Grade 8 (except the frame mounting bolts). The bumpers are dirty too in the pics below as I never got around to scrubbing them down after the last Rausch Creek trip.

E-autogrilles..... Never ever ever again. Faulty product, empty promises of making things right. 3 months later, haven't seen the partial refund I was promised nor the replacement for the faulty product (which was said to be 2 weeks out.... 3mo ago). Now they will not reply to any messages. Lesson learned.

Anyone have a picture of the rear bumper+carrier on a JK with a 1.25 body lift? Seems like the bumper fits close to the tub and wouldn't look bad with a small body lift. Anybody?

Backed into a fast moving swamp maple while wheeling with mine...after working the bushings and handle to make the carrier silent even while wheeling it aint silent no more haha. It did save my tailgate, rear window, and hardtop though! Well worth the loss of the quiet carrier. I was backing and kinda sliding my way down after a failed hill climb attempt and hit the tree pretty hard, was sure the carrier would be wrecked but it seems ok just bent inward.
