OK
I am sorry
I hate these threads but now I am ready to move as I have the cash
and just can't decide which direction to run.

I have an 08 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon in Steel Blue.
I have the AEV Argent Wheels (same color more or less as the anthracite by Shrockworks).
I am putting on an OME lift.

I will not be doing a winch as I will not use it enough if at all to justify it or keep it properly cared for. I have looked at most all of the options and these are the ones I like most so please just let me know which of the two sounds better to you.

Option 1) Shrockworks mid (add fogs on it and in it), Shrockworks slidders angled straight to work more as steps, and the Shrockworks rear with back up lights all in anthracite

Option 2) Red Rock Sliders straight out with the inserts powedercoated black as well, I like the LOD rear BUT think Id go Shrockworks as it will be an easier install since it uses the existing trailer hitch, for the front it would either be ARB (if they have or I can easily get plates to cover the winch openings) or a Shrockworks mid, Id LOVE the AEV but just can't justify it... Of course this would all be in textured black.

 

Not a huge fan of the shockworks mid. I have a Rugged Ridge stubby 'cuz I'm a cheap bast***. I also really like the look of that particular bumper.

That said, keeping all the same make is good, and bottom line: do what you think you're gonna be happy with.

 

Come on guys, please let me know what you think.

I need some suggestions

I really can't decide between the two.

 

I like your option 1, mainly due to me not liking the new LOD stuff. However, I really like the red rock sliders though. But I still picked option 1.

 

I'd say option 1.

 

The anthracite as it will look great with the steel blue and the AEV wheels.

I may just go with the rails in the anthracite and the bumpers in black

I thought the plain bumper was good to go from Shrockworks?
I am not trying to get the tire carrier

???

Who else makes a nice rear with lights?

 

If you go anthracite I'd do all the bumpers. At the moment, our JK has antracite sliders,anthracite rear with the carrier and a textured mid width (there was an anthracite stubby previously). It doesn't look as good as having them all match but we don't have time to mess with it.

I don't know if you've ever had steel bumpers, you usually end up having to touch them up often. I picked option 1.
