Default Rear bumpers and carriers

I am looking into rear bumper and tire carrier combinations that open the rear gate in a single action. So far I have found AEV, M.O.R.E. and LOD produce a product that I am looking for. Does anyone know of any others? Any experiences with them?

there was a thread like this a few weeks ago. this should help.

Of the bumper/carrier combos my personal favs are LoD and Expedition One. they both link and are rated well. The AEV is stout but expensive and doesn't sit centered, which is really obvious especially if decide to stick with the stock bumper.

I've pre-ordered the Benchmark Designs Rear Sport Mid-Width Bumper with Tire Carrier Option but it that one don't come through then I'm strongly considering the OR-FAB Rear Bumper with lights and their Tire Carrier with RotoPax. I'd strongly recommend BOTH and OR-FAB if you're patience for Benchmark Designs isn't long enough for the wait. Here's a couple of CADs of what Benchmark is working for us right now.

That is a very nice design, looks very good. But the wait can be very long. It wouldnt be bad if they would communicate with you while they are building it. Also the Or-Fab is certainly an awesome set up to.
