Recommend a stubby bumper
I like both the go industries bumper and the arb. But are thier any other options I should consider I do not want to modify the frame at all. And I want to mount a 8000 pound winch to the bumper either a warn gen 2 or a zeon (8000 should be sufficient correct). are thier any things I should know about stubby bumpers any problems with them do they increase wind drag significantly?
Would be be nice to have options for auxiliary lights etc. and I'd prefer to have a bull bar
also is anyone currently running the go industries bumper it's very interesting
So help me decide

Bumper
I know a lot of people on here suggest the big name companys. I found a company called Trail Products that make their own bumpers in the USA and I feel are very reasonably priced. I have a mid-width on my current Wrangler. All their bumpers are direct bolt ons and you do not have to relocate anything. Take a look...

I am running thte RC Hybrid stubby with a 10k winch. Mine is the model that has end caps for running factory fogs. Very easy install. Price was right.
The only cons for me were: 1)factory powder coat sucks so I bedlined it before install.
But I have gotten the bedliner bug. 2) Its not sturdy enough to use as a ramp for bumping over rocks and such, assuming you're into that. It's mainly just a winch carrier.
