It so bothersome I may just sell or return the RR XHD and go with something I can match up.

I have a LoD front and rear bumper, but not by design. I have parts from Rock Krawler, TeraFlex, River Raider, Rancho, Mopar, KC Hilights, Warn, Poison Spyder, ARB, Dynatrac, Yukon, RCV, Bilstein, Nitro, MBRP
Basciallly find the best part at the best price and use it. Don't think you can go wrong either way - matching or not. As long as it's similar lines will look fine. Most of the rigs in my club don't match front and rear bumpers.
Think some of the sponsors carry JCR - saw some JCR bumpers on a new rubi in the parking lot today. They looked nice.

I'm kinda pissed I can't match them up since I went with the RR XHD. I hate the RR full width and won't pay 700-900 for aluminum pods.
I have no idea what bumper to run and everytime I think maybe I think to myself I shoulda just got that companies front stubby. It's annoying.

Spoken like a true mall crawler. That's last on my list after fender flares...
Lets see what if I don't want to lift it, what if I'm satisfied with the Rubi set up as is? Then I certainly wouldn't need lift, tires axle reinforcement, gears a programmer or FDS. Don't have rear w/ carrier so what weight are you talking about? not the case per say, but what if it was. You are just talkin out of your ass.
Nothing like being on the trail w/ no winch...
Mall crawler, nah but you just sound like a dope.
