I picked up a XRC rear with tire carrier and I like the ease of operation but it does rattle and make noise. I am carrying a 37 but that should make no real difference. Any suggestions?

did anyone have any problems with their SRC front bumper? I noticed mine is rubbing my fender flares and I can't lower it anymore. The flares are rubbing off the paint of the bumper. Not a big deal since it isn't noticeable unless you look at it close and since i plan on getting flat flares

**also does anyone know if you can use a hi-lift jack on the SRC front or rear bumper? I'm not too sure I want to use it on the tube "wings" or the wholes underneath, but what if i used the d-hooks?

I have the front smittybuilt src and my buddy has the front xrc bumpers. They are great, not to heavy and really well built. I highly recommend them

I'm a torn between the smittybilt XRC series bumpers and LoD. Obviously there is a considerable price difference between the 2. I was gonna go with a full LoD setup but the 3k price tag aint sitting in my sub-cockle region right!

Thoughts?
This is why I love and use the xrc front and rear bumpers & I'm going to upgrade my xrc sliders with Lod when I get the funds

My front and rear bumpers are (IMO) one of the nicest, clean looking bumpers I've seen. I've looked at 100's of them..... my sliders however I don't care for, they rub a little on my armor and the fitment wasn't the best.
