I've got a on Off Road Evolution 1/4 Pounder with Stinger on my 2009 Rubicon and an getting ready to install a Poison Spyder BFH with Trail Stinger on my 2012. My jeeps are built to be able to take me anywhere I point them when out exploring, that means maximizing their ability to go over, around, or through anything, a full width bumper gets in the way, hurts approach angle, and is typically heaver (all other things equal). Both of my bumpers are solid steel construction and the EVO 1/4 pounder punched straight through an F150 tailgate (got rear ended and pushed into the truck in front of me) and without so much as a dent. Most other bumpers wouldn't have survived nearly so well. Went with the Poison Spyder BFH based partially on the looks but moreso on performance, its got the best approach angle of any bumper made for the JK and unlike the EVO 1/4 Pounder, it'll fit the new Zeon line of Warn winches which is getting installed on it (a 10-s).
