Default Bumpers and tire carrier?

I am looking to possibly upgrade to 35" tires and I will need a tire carrier and a I would like to get some new bumpers, any suggestions? Also, if you could please include pics, this will help me better make a choice on the look.

What are you looking for in a bumper and tire carrier? Stubby, full-width? Do you want a hi-lift mount, cb mount, gerry can holders, rack, back-up lights? Do you want the no bumper to address the third brake light relocation, relocate the license plate, fill the hole left by moving the license plate? Do you want it to fill the hole left by moving the stock carrier?

Stock bumper but the rest is handled. Now I can choose the bumper of my choice!

This is the OR Fab tire/gas can carrier with 3rd brake light, CB antenna mount and mounting location for a high lift jack!

I would like ta full-width bumper, no need for a rack and/or gerry cans. I would like to keep the license plate in the same location and I am not sure about the third light. BTW thanks for your help

I like the new Shrockworks rear bumper and tire carrier. It's not in my immediate future but probably the one I'll get. They have tons of photos on their website and here. You do have to relocate the license plate though.

I'm running 35's and like this setup (Rock Hard) really well...purchased after reviewing suggestions by others here

A little loud at times and rattles when off-road, but seems to be built extremely well...

I'm buying the Shrockworks, but that doesn't sound like what you want. Here are a few I found:

Go here for a bunch of sponsors that sell bumpers:
