It would seem from my experience with this bumper, you will need to remove the front flares to install it. The bumper is so close to the flares you cannot slide it over the frame without it hitting them.

We also carry the Fab Fours Bumpers and are doing very well with them.

 

If you'd like to see the Fab Four selection of bumpers Quadratec carries them and are moving quite well. Fab Fours Bumpers

I agree with the approx $500 range completely.

I like the design of the FabFour bumper, but i also prefer the smoother more integrated looks of the AEV one if i wanted to go full width. (which i dont)...


They are both more of the Champagne variety, and i am a beer sorta guy.


My personnal top two right now are either the PJ or the Shrockworks stubby with winch plate. If i still had shop/brake/welder access, i would just do my own.

 

The FabFours bumper was on my shortlist for upgrades until the HESCO supercharger came along...so the bumper has been pushed out until next year. I'm with most of the other guys here on price. Like wow. I was expecting it to be more that the others (because it includes the lights) but still, that price is one I have to get over. (and the one at Quadratech is shown with a cheeper hawse fairlead not a roller one.)

 

I ordered the aev front about a week ago. It's on backorder for at least another 2 weeks. I also saw it at sema. Love it!! It is costy but it comes with the winch mount

 

I like the look of the Fab Fours except that it seems too wide. I really like the look of the dual integrated fog lights. I too prefer the AEV over the Fab Fours look.

 

Nice, but much to expensive.

I'm going with LOD, second choice would be the Warn front.
