Default Aftermarket bumpers and airbags
I've been looking at full width aftermarket bumpers and have found a lot of great ones. The only problem is that I want one that will work with my airbags. My JK is my daily driver and I have my wife and little ones with me often. Does anyone know of any bumpers that will work with airbags? I know that AEV and ARB both do...but they're damn expensive! Thanks!

I believe there are 3 bumpers that qualify to be Airbag compatible. ARB, AEV & the optional Jeep/Mopar front Bumper.

The airbags will work with any bumper. The crash cans on the above listed bumpers supposedly keep the airbags from deploying on a light impact.

Can the crash cans from the oem bumper be fitted to a new one? They just absorb the impact from low speed collisions right?
