Default Rear bumper decision time

I need to get a rear bumper asap. As I posted in an earlier thread my tailgate is sagging a little bit from the weight of the 35 inch tire. What I want to know is. What brand rear bumper/tire carrier combo did you buy. What did you spend. How long did it take you to get it. What are your thoughts about it (happy, pissed, etc...). I really don't want to spend more than $1000 for it so that eliminates a couple like Fab Fours. I am leaning towards Rock Hard 4x4. I like the design and the fact I can add on to it later. You can also do this with LOD (witch would match the front) but I've heard of the bumper rubbing on the body tub and thats a big no no for me (perhaps this has been fixed in later production). I've stopped driving the Jeep till I get this repaired. (I don't like things being "wrong" with my Jeep ).

Thanks as always,
Ty

I have the complete Rockhard set up. It is strong and quiet. It takes rockhits quite nicely. The muffler skid is awsome as well as the third light replacement.
