I run a stubby because I like rocks . With no bumper in front of the tires , I can go over big rocks without hitting the front bumper on them. If I had a wide bumper , I would not have the exposure of the tires to rocks and would be slamming the bumper on rocks all the time !

I have a stubby up front, this gives me a better approach and clears my 37's. I have a full width rear, protects the entire back of my Jk from anything it might land on. Looks great and seems completely fine/normal to me.

My plan is to eventually build into a similar set up for the same reasons. My stock rear bumper is bashed and pancaked so the rear will be getting addressed before the front.

stubby
Wow I have never seen a stubby rear bumper ! I know that I do alot of rock crawling in my jeep and with that rear stubby , I wouldn't have any rear corner panels left ! Many times I have come down off a rock and have slammed my rear bumper on rocks , and it works great for that .
