Default LOD Rear Shorty or Full Width

Ok, I need opinions, I'm gonna be getting a new rear bumper/tire carrier and really like the LOD ones but I can't decide between the shorty version or the full width, what does everyone think will match my jeep best. If it matters I will be doing a fender trim in the near future so that might fit the shorty better. I will be getting the Jerry Can holders as well. So whats the word??

My Jeep:




Full Width:

Shorty:

I understand the shorty for the front but go with the full width for the rear.

Default Plan on Modifying Fenders?

Hi,

The only arguement that I have heard the would make me choose the shorty over the full width would be my plans to cut the fenders in the future. Full width may not look as attractive to me if the fender width is narrowed.

Just my two cents worth.

Jeff

My decision was made for me by the great state of New Jersey. Really like the shorty though.
