That Shrockworks bumper doesn't look right--the winch hoop is too skinny. Maybe it was a prototype? I agree the snorkel is AEV, but the prefilter is not what they offer now (the fishbowl).
Mid-width Shrockworks front bumper ...
Edit: Ah! Found a picture of a Shrockworks stubby (RescueX's). The bumper may be Shrockworks, after all. The lights are repositioned, but that may have been because they preferred them over the winch mounting location. You can see one of the empty light tabs in the original picture.

Search Youtube for Ripp Supercharged Jeep JK, i found a video on there that had that snorkel on it. Must have been added at a later time. The video was up but it had a blacklisted mfg decal on it. its the Ripp JK.
As for a lift...A good happy medium for a DD would be a Rock Krawler 2.5" Max Travel kit. Also look at the Teraflex 2.5" Coil kit and OME long travel kit from Northridge. All three kits are well built and awsome. I'm going for the 2.5" Rock Krawler kit with some flat flares.

I want to do either 35's or 37's tires but I'm not sure. Ive seen a lot of people on here go with 35s and then later go up to 37s so and so. I've been looking at pics of jus with 35s and 37s and have been leaning towards 37s now. So what lift should i go with it if i got 37in tires? and in the future i want to get flat fenders. I have a 11 jku rubicon. I'm sure i would have to regear also. how much does that cost?

You can do a LOT with 35's.
You can do a LOT with a 2 or 2-1/2" lift.
Since you're in Florida, your Jeep will require different mods than someone in Utah.
Be conservative to begin with.
My JKU has 2-1/2" of lift w/Bilsteins, Bushwackers and Goodyear Dura-Trac 315-70R17's.
This works great for me in Texas and when I was in Colorado this summer.
And it's my daily driver.
Above all ..... have fun with it!
