and the fitment is always good on an oem one, and an aftermarket one might not fit as amazing.. but i never had any problems yet

They have front for sure, not sure about rear. I got a bumper from them that I mounted my Kaminari lip to and kept my stock for winter.

The fitament is perfect, no difference b/w them and stock. It was about 1/2 the price of OEM so I recommend it.

get oem. i got an aftermarket rear bumper when i put a hole in my stock one and it fit fine on one side but the other side is kinda wavy, looks like i have a big dent in the bumper. looks like ****. i could kick myself for not spending the extra $100 and getting the oem one.

I can only attest to the fitament of the CrossCanada front end. I have no experience with the rear. And I am telling you the front end is 100% perfect (at least it was when i bought one 2 yrs ago and I assume they wouldn't change the design to make it worse). If the rear is anything like the fron tit will be 100% as well
