    I am wanting to purchase armor for front and rear bumpers. What would you guys suggest?
    One that can go with my current light bar in front.
    Please post what you guys have.

    I have neither, but if I were to, I think I'd go with the Victory 4x4 front bumper and a Fab Fours rear bumper

    I read into it, and the Fab Fours dont accomodate foe the BSM system.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    the only one I know that does is c4

    You're out of luck with BSM (as am I). Gotta accept the idea of simply losing that functionality.

    Dang, I was assuming since it had the little plastic plugs that it would be compatible, guess not :(

    I have the CBI bumper with mid grille protection. And the pelfrey high clearance rear. Mobtown might be another way to go. I have their sliders and tailgate plate

    C4 is the only one that currently makes a rear with BSM but not sure what you mean by "doesnt look "clean""

    All rear armor bumpers look like the c4 ones.

    Personally my eyes are on the Pelfreybilt front and rear but it doesnt accommodate the BSM.

    That looks pretty slick.

    I'm getting a custom dual-swingout bumper made locally this summer, and think I'll suggest a design/layout similar to this one. Non-high-clearance, though.

    I'm not usually a plate bumper fan but I've been crushing hard on the CBI with full hoop.

    Check Out My Build Thread :)
    can't go wrong with @CBI Offroad Fab especially their new T3 line up... the front has multiple options for hoops and fitment is spot on... the rear bumper is just as amazing with the normal replacement style or hi clearance with single or dual arm swing arms... check out my build thread for more pictures but I can promise you the price is worth every penny for the RnD and everything in between!
