I have read and read and read some more but I need to get a rear bumper with tire carrier before memorial day so I am not traveling spare-less anymore.

I am looking at 3 bumpers and I want to know if anyone has some pluses or minuses for each of them.

I am going to be putting a 35" on it and I want to hold a highlift as well.

The 3 choices are:

RockHard 4x4 without the addons (jerry can - air - cargo tray)

Olympic

And

AEV

The images are borrowed from vendor website and I wanted to leave out links so if that's an issue, please let me know.

Thanks

 

IMO, the rockhard looks BLAH and i dont care for where the trailer hitch is. of those 3 choices, my picks are as follows

AEV, Olympic, rockhard.

 

I don't like any of the other two so I am with the AEV. Why do you only like these three? Shrockworks, LoD, Expedition 1 all make great bumnpers as well. Just curious. JOE>

 

I'm assuming because he needs a quick turn-around before memorial day. Shrockworks and LOD can take a month or two to get (if you're lucky).

Out of the three I vote for Olympic.

 

Out of the three I would go with AEV .

The AEV is really nice. Can't speak to the others.

Like was mentioned, the shockworks and the LOD seem to have longer turn-around. the rockhard is there because of the ability to add accesories later and its very reasonable price. I like the look of the olympic and the fact that it can drop the spare for changing. The AEV I know is an awesome bumper but is a bit pricier.

 

With the Hanson bumper you can add the different racks and the jerry can holders later as well

 

I am on my 2nd bumper. I now have the AEV and i have to say that it wont be going anywhere. Quiet, easy to use, great finish (no rusting after 1 week like other brands lol), surprisingly light. well worth the money.

 

Smittybilt XRC... tough, simple, relatively inexpensive.....
