I have been doing a lot of research in the hope to find the best rear bumper W/ tire carrier. There are a lot of options and I think I have narrowed it down to two. I'm running a Mopar rear bumper with no tire carrier at the moment and want to upgrade to prevent my gate from sagging. I have put a lot of thought into the criteria like weight/price/coated or not coated/ lights Etc. I've narrowed it down to Ace or Poison spider any help would be really appreciated.

 

I don't have either, but i see quite a few Poison Spiders on the trail...

 

Rather than replace your whole bumper, have you considered the tereflex carrier ? They get really good reviews. I love mine.Ace and Poison Spyder are good choices too.

 

I have considered the Tereflex carrier but I'm a skeptic on the weight it can carry.

 

Why?? They've been out awhile, plenty of guys are running them and Teraflex makes good shit! What size tire are you running?

 

I've never seen an ACE in person.

But I can tell you the poison spyder bumper is very nice and built well. Give us a call for a quote.

 

your profile location says bat area. Is that Balt area ? as in Baltimore area ?? If so, I can show you the carrier in person. Very nice.

 

bay area sorry my bad. As for the tire size i'm running a 35/12.5 now but planning on moving to a 37. I really like the poison spider bumper but it is only 30 pounds lighter then the ACE and about 300$ more expensive and its not powder coated or anything.


ACE JK Pro Series Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier

 

Body armor

 

I something to consider is if you plan on a roof rack in the future. a lot of them attach to the frame rails just behind the rear wheels and need a bumper that does not wrap around to the sides. I got a body armor one specifically because of that and the 300ish price range
