I like the brush guard but it seems a little bulky on the stock bumper what about the rugged ridge bull bar anyone know about that or have more

It might just be the angles then it just seems like it sits so far away from the grille. About how far does the guard sit from the grille and does it seem very sturdy because I want something that can protect my car on the trails.
