Default Can't make up my mind on a bumper

So I've been going back and forth for a couple months trying to decide which front bumper I want. I would love to get a Shrockworks winch bumper, but I'll be damned if I'm going to wait half a year to receive it. So I found a couple other bumpers I'm trying to choose from.

1) Rock Hard Stubby with foglight mounts


2) Mopar Rock Crawler with foglight mounts

Check out Ranch Hand. That's what I decided to go with. My mentality on it is I want to be able to hit things if necessary. I do go off road, but not as much as I would like. Check out the Ranch Hands.

If you're into the stubby look, have you checked out the Poison Spyder ones? Those things look awesome!

But f you're set on deciding between those two, I'd go RockHard.

I can tell you that the mopar bumpers are great but rust very easily! I have them front and rear. Might want to go with the stubby. I guess the questions you are looking for is purpose, money and function. Hope this helps! Good luck with the decision!!

Personally for stubby I went with Offroad Evolution. But out of the two your between I'll say RockHard because I am still sketchy on the mopar stuff. Dont know why but I am.

If you really want the shrockworks bumper you may want to go with it. I think your wait would be more like 3 months, not six. I got mine in three and a half months and a friend got one just recently in three months. Shrockworks knows they are loosing business by the long lead times. So they are getting new equipment in to make the delivery time shorter. Now, getting back to your question. I like the Mopar one for the winch mount and hoop and I don’t like the length, hooks and the blocks out front. The Rock Hard: looks boxy and winch mount would be a deal breaker for me.

Between those two, definitely the Rock Hard. But I would strongly consider the PSC Brawler Lite since you obviously don't mind the winch mounted ontop of the bumper.
