Decided to go with the LoD shorty front and rear with tire carrier. Can't wait to get them.

 

I know firsthand the time issue with Benchmark, but I did order the Elite Front bumper and had it within two weeks. I don't know why they do not answer e-mails any faster than they do, but John is a great guy and he has been really helpful to me with purchases I have made from them. The bumper is solid and looks great, and I run a Warn 9.5ti.

 

I like the LOD front bumper better and the benchmark rear bumper just looks clean and different from all the others. You can get one of each brand.

 

I had the same delima....... LoD or Benchmark. After going back and forth on which one to get I went with the Benchmark Elite. Will post pictures once I get it and put on.

 

i think your gonna love it!! im very happy with mine, are you still waiting for it to arrive?

 

Yes. It is supposed to be in by the end of the week.

 

Just go my front shorty and my rear w/o carrier. Took about a month to get them, but it was well worth the wait....

Very nice, cant wait to get mine. Hopefully one more week.

 

I considered the LoD Mid but went with the Benchmark Design Bumper. I'm glad I did! This is a very sturdy and quality built bumper. I had an ARB on my 07 and decided I would do something different with my 11. Easy to install, love it! I had my D-rings powder coated.

I had no issues with Benchmark Design. After I ordered the bumper, John called me to make certain the light tabs were goin to be satisfactory. Bumper was shipped when he said it would be. I wouldn't hesitate to order from BD again! Very quality product and worth every penny!

 

VERY nice. I do't think you can go wrong with either of these. They are both so much stronger, heavier and better looking than the factory bumpers. Those plastic factory bumpers are an embarrasment. When I went to take the factory rear bumper off, I figured thee plastic was just a cover and it would be heavy so I called a couple of buddies over to help. When I unbolted it and we pulled on it we almost fell over backwards when it turned out to weigh next to nothing. We had a good laugh.
