Default Ace Eng - Front Bumper and Winch

Hello Everyone,

I'm curious if anyone has ran the Ace Engineering front bumpers and if so how have they worked out?

I just ordered their Sliders and will be doing a bumper and winch in March (bonus time!!).

I'm also considering the Warn Zeon but as I understand it they have a minor spacing issue to resolve on the winch so bolt patterns will match.

Thanks!
J.D.

Which front bumper do u speak of. They have a few. Stubby, wid with, or pro. I ordered the stubby few days ago and can't wait. If ur rig is 12+ u need to get the vacuum pump relocate kit. I have only seen the stubby stinger and it looked awesome. But I got the bull bar. I'll let u kno how it goes.

I am running an ACE stubby and a WARN 10kS. The ACE bumper is seriously no joke. I feel safer knowing that 125lb metal is between me and the public. The quality and fit and finish is amazing. They have awesome customer service too.

Don't need to relocate the vacuum pump, just flip it upside down.

With the stinger I had to raise the Superwinch Talon 12.5i SR 1/8" and it's a very tight fit but it works.
