Default Smittybuilt xrc bumpers

Is anyone running the Smittybuilt xrc front and rear bumpers? I had my 2011 unlimited for two weeks and got rear ended the other day so I am getting some aftermarket bumpers. I really like the look of the rear Smittybuilt bumper but I'm not sure on a front bumper.

I have the SB XRC rear bumper and its solid. I have nailed it a couple times on rocks and it held up. The one thing I experienced with some of these bumpers is they are not exactly straight, one side will have more of a gap then the other.

I had to go through 3 of them before I got one that lined up properly..I heard there were USA and China versions.. There is a thread on here someone with more info.

I have the LoD-mid-width front bumper paired with an XRC 8 winch. IMO its one of the nicest bumpers, very well made. Shrockworks is also nice.

I ordered through Northridge and David was able to get my LoD shipped in about 1 week.

I'm running the SB SRC fron and XRC rear with carrier... Both front and rear are SOLID, and as mentioned earlier the price is okay as well

However it is correct that the rear dont line up 100%. I have approc 1 cm gap on the driver side and 0,5cm on passenger side... you barly notice it thoug.

Overall im very happy with the set up!!

I am running the sb xrc with tire carrier and the rugged ridge Xhd with stinger on the front. I am real happy with both bumpers and the way they match.
