Hanson euro spec bumper - anyone running one?
Looking at a Hanson Euro spec bumper. Wanted AEV for a while but finally talked myself out of spending that much $$$. Hanson was close second. Anyone running one? Thoughts?

Anyone notice any major handling differences adding a bumper and winch? I expect this bumper would be comparable in weight to other full width bumpers.

Ya, with that much weight you will eventually be needing new ball joints sooner than later. Some preventative maintenance like some Dynatrac rebuildable bj's would have to be in the budget as well but that's just my opinion. On another note, if I was heading down that road to add that much weight front and rear, I would be purchasing a big brake kit, like Teraflex has just to be on the safe side. Once again, that's me and I have the tendency to be a little overkill. To each his own. Happy Jeepin'!!!
