I installed my new ARB Deluxe bumper this weekend. First off i LOVE it, but i have a quick question.

On my way down to philly for work today on two different highway off-ramps the jeep felt different and fishtailed twice.

Is having more weight so far foward causing some of this issue?? I would think it's possible as this bumper is quite a bit heavier then the stock one, and sticks out further.

I do not have a winch or even the off-road lights on it yet.

I'm sure the roads being slightly wet down here didn't help at all.

Just wanted to know how the jeep will handle with the weight change.

Thanks

 

I haven't heard similar complaints, but I guess it is possible that the extra up front could change weight/traction at the rear wheels. Do you notice more rake in the Jeep's stance since the install?

 

I don't notice too much rake. It does look like the tires are little closer to the fenders now though.
