Need input on rear bumper

I am getting ready to buy a new set of bumpers and a winch. I thinking about a rear bumper that has the tire carrier that attaches to the tail gate. don't like having to open the tire carrier to open the tail gate.
I am looking for something like the ACE Engineering Pro Series Rear Bumper & Tire Carrier With 6" Light Provisions. I would like know what you are using and what are your pros and cons.

I just put on the LoD Gen 4 with door link I love it ! Highly recommend Fronts I just ordered the hard rock full width aluminum with recessed winch should be here in a couple of weeks Sent from my iPhone using JK-Forum

Also I recommend dealing with Eric from off-road elements, great customer service and he has beat everyone's price so far just an FYI

IMO the tire carrier bumpers are very expensive, there are some cheaper ones for 7-800. But all the ones I liked PSC, LOD cost too much for my budget. I went with TeraFlex tire carrier and hinge for less than 600. Very happy with this tire carrier and easy install. There are three positions to put the tire mounting studs, upper holes for 37-38, middle holes for 35, and lower holes for 33 - stock. Planning on next tires to go to 35 so I went a head and used the center holes for my 33.

I thought about the teraflex tire carrier but for a few hundred you can get a nice bumper with it.

I bit the bullet and went with Poison Spyder Rock Brawler ll. Love the product. Only complaint for a driveway mechanic is they call for normal hand tools. I'm thinking a 1-7/16" 3/4 drive socket is not in a regular tool box.
