I just picked up my new front bumper and will be replacing it this weekend along with installing a new lift. When I remove the front bumper do I need to be careful of airbags? The last thing I want is to make a simple change cost me $$$. Thanks

no air bag sensors in the bumper so you are good to go.

Nope, the airbags won't cause you any trouble. You've got to meet certain criteria to set them off and you won't be doing that unless the key is in the ignition and you're installing the bumpers while dangling the jeep from a crane and it falls.

I didnn't think so but figured it's easier to ask rather than find out after. And just for clarification... I can change it while dangling from a crane as long as the key is not in the ignition

Thanks fellas

That is correct, without the key in the ignition then you take away one of the conditions that the air bags are looking for to have them deploy. Enjoy the new bumpers

Doing 40 inch Interco Super Swampers so went with the Genright bumpers there pretty sweet or the New SmittyBuilt XRC stuff is cool. Choose the Genrights because have not seen alot of them

remember from a Safety Stand point anytime you working on electrical or anything where you scared of an airbag situation you can always disconnect the neg Battery terminal this will always prevent check engine lights or air bag issues. any yes the JK do have a front Impact sensor!
