Default Aftermarket bumpers?

So I am looking to replace the stock front bumper with one of the aftermarket metal bumpers that have the bar that comes up and out in front of the grille. My question is which of these bumpers will work with the stock fog lights, if any? Thanks in advance.

Based on what your first post says, you want the tubes that come up in front of the grill...

Another option would be the Shrockworks Mid-Width. It's about $65 cheaper than the M.O.R.E. after you add in the cost of powder coating and the winch hoop, and in my opinion it looks better. Shrock bumpers are indestructible. Keep in mind that the waiting list for these bumpers is laughably long. I've heard people wait up to five months for their Shrockworks products, but in the end they always say it was worth the wait.

How about the new LOD. I think they are price competitive too.

Stupid side mirror! I've always wanted to catch just a glimpse of Eddie's face. Maybe him in all his Jeepiful glory is too great of a sight for such a humble JK Enthusiast like me to behold.

That is a good looking bumper though. It flows with the JK better than some of their first designs.
