Just a question about this bumper, I have it installed right now, in the summer with 33" tires but I have smaller winter tires on right now. It sure looks like the end caps will rub larger tires when flexing, has anyone had a problem with this? I know you can remove them but sometimes thats not an option if doing some last minute wheeling.
Will post pic when I get it installed.

Love these bumpers, ordering mine this weekend. Does anyone have any idea how much of a drop I can expect due to the weight gain from them. waiting on the M.O.R.E. 1" BL to come in presently, just hoping this will do.

I just got mine today...its going on Fri...the whole setup with the ends/hoop is about 105 I think. Im expecting .5 to 3/4 in drop. I ordered 1" rear/1.75" front spacers to compensate and add about an inch...

Cappi:
I'm putting exactly the same bumper/winch combo on. I had to cut metal off the winch opening on the driver side to get that winch to fit. I assume you had to do that, right? How close is the frame rail bumber attaching plate to the winch? It looks like it may be a tight fit.
You rig looks great. I can't wait to get mine on soon.

You don't have to cut anything...you do have to drill new mount holes though. the winch comes with a paper "footprint" so, just set the winch in the hole and mark the corners with a pen. Then lay the paper in and line it up the best you can, then just center punch through the paper and drill the holes (1/2'' i think)...easy
.Another tip I can give you is: Be sure to superglue the nuts into the holes in the winch before you try to install....there isn't any room to get them in once the winch is in place...Once she's in, wiring is a breeze
You're gona love this set up.....I do
