Default Help looking for jk bumper

Looking to get an aftermarket front bumper. I would like to keep original fog lights and also have room to add KC lights. I will not need a winch. Any ideas ?

There are a ton of threads on here of all sorts of different bumpers. Just make sure you buy one that is made in the good old USA and has a lifetime warranty if you break it they replace it!

Check out my Facebook Page for a look at the Rugged Ridge XHD Modular. I just added 6" rough lights to the bull bar.

I have a front and rear rugged ridge on mine. I love them because of all the different options and the cut out for the winch. Fitment was great some people have experienced rust which can be easily covered up with some bed liner. I've had mine for almost a year with no rust. Pm if u want some pics

Really depends on what your needs are. If you're going to be wheeling a lot and need wheel clearance, you will want a stubby or possibly mid. You won't want a full width because it will get in the way when wheeling. If you're not wheeling much and have deer in your area, you will want a full width for added coverage.

I'm getting the Poison Spyder brawler lite. It is the same width as the grill and won't get in the way of the wheels. When I added 35's, I was rubbing the front bumper. I hacked the ends off the bumper as a temporary fix.

x2 on OR-Fab. We have stubbys, mid-widths and full widths. All of them you can get with factory fogs and no winch mount. Check out our website Jeep Front-Bumpers If you have any questions or need any help please let me know.
