LOD or Shrockworks Rear Bumper
 

I really like both bumpers, however Shrock bumber alows you to keep the factory tow bar and LOD has a intergrated tow hitch.

Is there a benifit on either one???

The ExpeditionOne allows you to keep the factory receiver as well. :brows:

Don't know about LOD, but have heard that Shrockworks will take a long time to ship. You might give them a call to find out what kind of wait time you are looking at.

They are both good bumpers. flip a coin!:D

Give screamin lizard a call, they have the shrockworks in stock some of the time..no waiting. I have the shrockworks are would buy it again. However I have no experience with the LOD so can't compare them.

Is there a benifit using the factory hitch?

I don't know about the LOD, but the Shrockworks provides a license plate relocation, plug for the hole, light kit for the license plate and third brake light, and that's not to mention the modular addition of jerry cans and racks.

I like this bumper as well. The tire carrier swings with the tailgate when opened without any extra latches.

LoD does some nice work! You won't be sorry, plus Northridge4x4 has them stocked I believe.

Northridge had LOD in stock, you will get it in 3-5 days. Shrockworks will take 3-5 months (at least).

Shrockworks says by keeping the factory hitch you will damage that before your bumper.

LOD uses the stock license plate, but has a third brake light kit, rear light kit can also carry cans and a rack.

Both are really nice. In the end I went with LOD mostly due to shipping time and price.
