Default ARB vs Shockworks rear bumper

I have been thinking about selling my ARB rear bumper and getting a Shockworks rear bumper and tire carrier.
I would like to hear some thoughts
thanks

i considered it too. long wait time turned me off. number of people complaining about not getting it for 6-8 months. some people bought it end of last summer, still dont have it.

i went with expedition 1, from northridge, got it in 5 days.

I do love my Shrockworks bumper and accessories, but Rafi is right about the wait being long (regardless of what the otherwise nice folks at Shrockworks may project). And, you do pay for it up front. But, if you have the patience of Job, it is worth the wait ...

Default Still like the shockworks

The problem I have with my ARB rear bumper is I now need a tire carrier and of course ARB does not have one for the JK. I do not want a carrier mounted to the tailgate hinges. So it is either custom of change the entire set up to a Shockworks which I really like.
