Yeah I was looking at the RR tubular. How was the install? Does it sit straight?

 

It bolted right up with no issues, took longer to take the old bumper off than to put the new one on! Sits straight and after almost 2 years, the finish is holding up well.

 

That sounds awesome, it doesn't look like there's much room for a winch there?

 

Here's another pic showing the different options. Plenty of room for a winch, it's sits down lower which is nice for protection and engine cooling.

 

Awesome thanks for the tip!

 

Also where did you guys get your mounting plate for a smitty xrc8 winch?

 

So just thinking out loud here, what would be the better route? New front bumper, spacers and tires then save up and do a proper 2' lift? or do the bumper and a 2' lift and hold off on the tires, seeing as I'll finally have my winch on. Night shifts give me too much time to daydream about my build!

 

What size tires are you planning on running?

 

I'm think around 33's

 

If it were me, I'd do the bumper and lift. Since you already have a winch, get that baby installed and with only a 2" lift, your stock tires won't look bad at all. Then whenever you're ready, it'll be easy to slap some bigger tires on!
