Funny...I was thinking the same LOL
Self-inflicted rock breaking a Jeep windshield, because of a short bumper? Even mud gets thrown up there only after you start turning the wheels. However, at that point the length of the bumper doesn' matter anymore. If you feel saver with a long bumper >>> goferit :-)
I am more worried about that hi-lift buddy ahead of me kicking up a rock.

Trust me you will toss much more mud and rocks up at your windshield with a stubby. Most of it happens when you turn but with wide tread mud tires as they rotate past the top of the tire toward the front they encounter a big blast of wind from the jeep moving down the highway/road/trail at that point the mud/rocks/etc release and go flying into your windshield at whatever speed you are moving.
