I've never seen that one before. I run the ace engineering pro series bumper and have been extremely happy no rattle or any noise. The powder coat isn't the best but overall I wouldn't change anything. If you can wait some venders have great deals on Black Friday. I got my bumper with lights, tire carrier, plate relocate and for 900.

I'll look at those. I am in no rush so black Friday could be a option. Thank you

I just got front and rear w/ Tire carrier for under 800. They are the ko off road bumpers that are sold by oe wheels on ebay. I know, I know, they aren't name brand, funny thing is that they are 3/16 and absolutely no visual difference from most of the big name companies. Helped a buddy put on the same rear as mine Friday and no complaints on either! Their customer service was outstanding, their packaging was better than anything I've seen and I saved a crap ton of money. The powder coat looks great and instal was easy too! Check them out.
