Why's the difference in rear bumpers?

I'm looking at ordering a LOD rear bumper w/tire carrier what's the difference between the short and full width bumper?

One extends the width of the factory fenders, the other extends the width of the body.

As mentioned if you run larger tires the full width can rub. With a shorty there's also less hanging out to catch when dropping off obstacles. If you're going to run flat or cut fenders, I personally think a shorty rear bumper looks the best. With full fenders they look a little weird, but not horrible. I absolutely love mine. Aesthetically pleasing, built like a tank, and so far don't have a single complaint after a year.

No problem! Glad the pics helped. It really is an awesome rear bumper. It was between this or going with the EVO carrier, but I wanted a little more protection for the traffic I deal with around here. No, the shackles didn't come with it. The tabs are welded on and ready, though.
