What is the best bumper for quality for the JL? (or worst if you bought a bumper that disappointed)

Occupation
I'm often occupied, by many things, often at the same time
I've had the stock plastic, Warn and ARB.

I think I would keep the stock bumper if I had it to do all over again.

The Warn fit great, but I didn't like the looks.

The ARB bolt holes didn't line up and when I asked them about it their response was I should be able to get them started and then crank 'em down. I sent pics of the misalignment and they responded it looked pretty close and to see if I could get them started and then crank 'em down. We had a pretty good open ticket response going, but it ended with a weird lack of response. When I suggested and asked if they updated their jigs from the JK to JL, saying I knew the bolt holes were supposed to be pretty close but not exact, they quit responding.

Pricey but partial to the AEV EX Front bumper. Very well made, super strong, and great tire clearance for a full width bumper

I’d stay away from DV8 products, quality of powder coat and fitment was bad in the bumper and swing away tire carrier. I’ve kept the bumper but ditched the spare tire carrier and got teraflex.

My front bumper is an Ace engineering and it’s gorgeous, although with new management and inflation they’ve priced themselves out of competition.
