Looking for front bumper that blends well with bushwacker flat flares
 
I have a 2013 jku rubicon with 35s and 2.5 RK lift. Looking for front bumper that won't break the bank, retain stock fogs, winch capable and offers good approach angles. I was looking at a mid bumper for better protection but am not ruling out a stuby. Any thoughts, opinions and pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Doug.

Look at the Warn Elite I think it has everything you are looking for.

Warn elite, I believe I paid $650ish from 4wp here in Ohio. Solid construct, easy one man install (easy to me anyway). It can use the factory fogs, but I went with the warn lights as well.

Hi guys

These look great with the stock fenders, but won't blend well with the Bushwacker flat flares.

Regards
Paul

Have you considered Pavement Ends from Bestop? @ $200, oe fogs, winch capable, simple design allows you to add anything to it. I added a hoop and Warn skid to mine. This bumper can take some hits too while still being pretty light for a steel bumper.

Thanks guys. I was looking for something to blend well with my bushwacker flat flares. It looks like the warn elite blends well with full fenders unless I am missing something.

Here is a pic fr the front of my jeep.

IMHO , stubbies are the best choice for flat flares. The concept of additional protection is mis leading.because what are you protecting with the extra couple of inches on each side? :) price point is the only real issue, and I've got to go with "you get what you pay for". Bumpers are one thing I won't skimp on.
I'm running an lod and Poison Spyder front bumpers on my jeeps, and I'd highly recommend either one. Good luck

Poison Spyder and Bushwhackers before the winch went on. Once you start putting little spyders on your jeep they will be all over the dang place. Attachment 427861
