Default Rock Hard Bumpers?

I am thinking about purchasing the Rock Hard full length front bumper. Has anyone installed this bumper and what are your thoughts.

I have the stubby with extensions and like the look and quality of the bumper. It is a straight bolt on bumper, 8 bolts. I love the bumper you are looking at, I think it attaches the same way!

I thought that it would be a straight bolt on but I haven't been able to find any instructions on line. My biggest concern is the weight of the bumper with a winch although I do have plans for 2.5-3in of lift.

Is there a chance you could post a couple of pics or PM them to me? I'm looking at getting the same bumper and the only pictures I could find are from Rock Hard.

I've looked at it on Rock Hard and Quadratec. I would really like to see better pics myself.

I ordered mine from northridge4x4 they had free shipping. I did not get to put mine on my jeep got rear ended so I got new front and rear bumpers so the body shop put it on so I'm not sure what the weight is it is heavy built bumper. It is a all bolt on bumper it used the factory tow hooks to mount it. It looked kinda goofy so I used 8 stainless bolts. Hear is some pics on a all stock my all stock jeep. I don't have my winch or lights on it yet it uses the stock fog lights I just had to make the stock plugins longer.

It may have just a little but not much.

I put on the rockhard front bumper and am very pleased with it. No winch yet due to limited funds. I have the teraflex leveling kit with stock springs, and the front sagged down 1/4" with the weight of the bumper.
