Beautiful jeep. I have the westin triple rail and really liked their bumper options. Do you know the weight of the bumpers and did you notice any sag on suspension when installed?
I do not know the weight, but I am sure Westin can tell you. It should be no different than other aftermarket bumpers. I have it front and rear with a winch in front and the heavy 37 on the back, so it balances out. So far I did not notice any sag.

Does anyone have different-branded front/rear bumpers? I'm curious as to how odd this may or may not look. Reason I ask is, I have the LoD Destroyer full-width front (black powder-coated), but I still have the stock plastic rear solely because I don't want to relocate the license plate.

I don't like having front steel/rear plastic, but I'm having difficulty finding a rear bumper that doesn't move the plate to the upper left. I did some shopping around, & from what I've seen so far, it looks like this would be difficult with D-rings.

I'm thinking I might have to just eat it if i want full-width steel all around.

ICI rear bumper maybe? Not much out there that keeps the plate in its original location.

Pickings are slim for what I'd prefer... I never saw the ICI bumper ... it also has the D-ring mounts... very nice and not much different from the LoD. Thank you for this...

For what it's worth, I was at LOD's shop on Friday and the owner told me they are working on a spare tire mounting option for the plate. You might give them a call or shoot them an email to see when they plan to make it available.

I like the LoD rear and was hoping they'd have something in development. If it's not too far off, I'd wait it out. I thank you for the information.

Me too, and I will definitely going that direction when I order my rear. Super impressed with the entire company and their products!

If a spare tire plate mount works, there are a few of those already on the market. ACE and Next Venture both have nice ones.

We will be offering a relocation kit that puts it in the center of the wheel. Fairly stout, too.

A spare tire would also work... my problem is I've only looked at manufacturers with whom I'm familiar and purchased from. I probably should expand my horizons and learn trust the other guys. I considered one I liked from DV8, but I've seen enough posts from buyers here that concerned me. I'll check out what ACE & Next Venture have.. thank you.

That would certainly work for me. Would you have an anticipated time frame?

Great to hear. Will the rear camera still work?

2-3 weeks before it's completely wrapped up and available online. It will also work with the stock tire carrier and spare!
I have your Destroyer full-width up front, and I'm hoping what you're developing includes the Destroyer series.
