Looking for those same HID lights, either 4" or 7"..but the links to them don't work. Any recommended place to find these same ones (or MFG & Part Number)? I have the same bumper.

Also these should work good for those not wanting to splice and hack their factory Fog light plug wires to extend them and to connect to after market lights:
Mopar 82210549AB extension cables:
Fog Light, Installation Kit - 82210549ab | Mopar
2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Wiring Extensions MOPAR GENUINE OEM BRAND NEW | eBay

Lastly, what size shackles people using on this bumper?

Default Oh Nice!

Newb here. Saw your jeep in a google search to see what my JK would look like with your new XRC. I am definitely going this route. You say you have the Smittybuilt XRC rear bumper as well? Can you show a photo of that? Much obliged!!! Jeep On!

Most standard is a 3/4" Shackle. It will have a 7/8" pin. That is what we ran on our JKU as will with the Smittybilt bumpers. Smittybilt has become a very popular option for the JK's the Gen2 bumpers are nice. The rear bumper/tire carrier is smart now that it is 2 pieces and can be bought and installed separately.

Question Bottom Pictures

Hey buddy, is it possible to send me some pictures of what you did underneath? You said in your post you were gonna do it later. I just ordered mine and will be installing soon. I love the XRC compared to the new XRC Gen 2...

Also, did you have to grind off a small piece underneath like I have read most people did!?
