Default Front Bumper choice - specific question

I'm asking for opinions for a front bumper choice for my 2012 2dr all white Rubicon with a 3" LA Teraflex lift.

PLEASE READ my specific requirements!

I want a stubby or midwith front bumper that will hold a Warn Powerplant HD (already in my garage) low so as not to block the radiator that has provisions for stock fog lights and a bull bar with tabs.

I specifically need the bottom of the bumper to be flat and as close to stock as possible as I have a Currie tow/bar skid to attach to tow the JK behind the RV.

I'm looking at LOD and Expedition 1 core but don't know how flat the bottom is to attach the Currie towbar/skid.

If anyone have other suggestions OR have these bumpers, especially with a Warn Powerplant AND the Currie towbat/skid I want to here from you AND photos.

Thanks in advance.

My vote is for the JCR "half sunk" winch stubby. Its one of the few winch bumpers with provisions for stock fog lights. The skid plate at the bottom is optional so you can still use your tow bar. And Made in the USA!

I have the core series and it sits pretty flat on the bottom. The powerplant will fit, but requires an offset winch plate. They give different mounting options when you order it. It is a top quality bumper and highly recommended.
