Default What bumpers would look good....

I just put on Bushwacker pocket flares on my 09 Detonator Yellow unlimited. I have 35" tires and a 2" body lift and 2" suspension lift. Hubby did it as a surprise, so I have to live with it for now. So now what bumper to put on? Also think I need a rear bumoer with a tire carrier. Opinions? The pic is prior to the new fenders.

Like the rims. I personally like LOD, would have photo's of it but camera not working. To me it's the best looking bumper on the market. Good luck and nice JK.

Well... a full width will scream "hey, check out my body lift."

A mid width Lod or Shrock's IMO would look best w/ a body lift.

I am, however, kinda partial to the Smitty XRC.

Sounds like you're not too fond of the flares yet. Am I wrong?

If you want a full bumper go with something that has 'high' endcaps.
like Rock Hards full width...
