Another vote for the JCR bumpers.
Last week I received my stubby Dagger front with vertical hoop and my Crusader deluxe rear with tire carrier and auxiliary lights. The bumpers arrived packaged really well for shipping, even the UPS guy mentioned it. Initial impressions were that the welds were very clean, the bumpers were structurally sound and designed well.
On test fitting I found that the bumpers were made so precisely and tight that there was very little wiggle room for the install. The only adjustment that I had to make was enlarging one of the bolt holes on the front passenger side frame horn. After that, both bumpers came together nicely.
I just dropped the bumpers off at a powder coating shop, I'm very anxious to get them back! From what I've seen so far, these bumpers are bomb proof and I highly recommend them.

I really appreciate everyone's input. It's making the decision that much harder.
Salt icon thanks for the pic of the RSE. It's the first time I've seen a "real" picture of it.

I really like LOD products, but the Made in the USA stuff is just ridiculously priced if you ask me. I really would love to support our folks in the US when I bought my bumper, but for me it came down to value.
I went with the Paramount Restyling which is the eAuto Grilles. Love it on my 2012 with the Engo winch and didn't have to move the vacuum pump.
