Did you notice an sag from your lift in front? I'm looking at doing almost the exact same thing.

I just got the stubby version with the bull bar today. Super easy install. What's nice about this bumper is that it does not jut way out like some bumpers I've seen.

I'll post pix later this week.

Props to Dave @ Northridge 4x4! Excellent customer service, super fast shipping, great products, and always great recommendations.

No sag for me... probably less then 105 lbs with bumper, bull bar, fair lead, skid and winch.

I have a measured 1/2" sag with everything installed. Not sure if is noticeable. Was debating whether to install Teraflex 1" front coil spring spacer (would raise 1/2" in the front above stock) but probably going to wait until after the Moab Easter Jeep event in March next year to decide what direction I want to go with lift, tires, etc. I think you will be happy with the end result.
