Twice in the first week! Drove straight from the dealer to an old gravel pit to try out 4, low and lockers! Hope to get to badlands soon to break it in right.

Looks great! Ordered a shorty. Will be interesting to see how the bracket relocation goes at home.

Will you be at the meet up in a few weeks? Would like to see your bumper.

Thanks!

Follow up, I swapped the front springs for 18 JKU springs. It gave 1 1/4" of lift so I am 1/4" higher than stock! The springs are much firmer so it does not dive as badly as the stock springs did with the extra weight. Definitely recommend the spring change if you add a heavy bumper and winch. (No insult intended to the mfgs, bumper was 70ish and winch was 77 according to the shipping paperwork)

Makes sense. I have a teraflex leveling kit ready to install when the bumper arrives.

Hi all, does anyone know a Genuine Winch Style front bumper off of a 2012 Rubicon will fit my 2008 JK Unlimited?
