Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Nice, good job!

When I added the winch on mine the front dropped about 3/4" or so.

Thanks

3/4", wow! did u notice any chane in the handling? did u have to adjust your headlights? Just curius, didnt think 100lbs would make that much of a drop. i'm sure it doesnt make much difference on the susspension or does it?

thanks for your input

No change in handling. You can feel the extra weight a little bit but you will notice the difference in the rake more. I didn't adjust the lights. It's not enough to make that much of a difference. I will probably put in some 1/2" or 3/4" spacers on the front springs to level it out again some time. Over all I am very happy with the bumper.

If you don't have the winch yet you can just put about 90lbs of weights on the bumper and you will see more or less how much it will drop.

its pretty easy to remove / install the end caps. its only three bolts a side holding them on, once removed, its ony three nuts to puts the flat ends on to make it stubby. I have the stinger and i'm going to install once i get back from florida. i will post a pic once its on.
