Sorry to thread hijack is that the pavement ends front bumper? If so who makes the front skid plate you have under it.
Btw I have the rough country spacers too and no issues.

yeah the bumper works great. I bought a WARN skid plate that's meant to work with their bumpers, I just eye balled the warn bumper heights and they seemed to be identical height wise to the PE bumpers. Drilled 4 holes under the bumper and that skid fit as if it was meant to. Perfect. I've seen other people also mount up Mopar skids to the PE bumpers. The simple design makes these really versatile and easy to add on to. Might add a hoop or mid stinger at some point too

Thanks on my tight budget that seems to be the best and least expensive to be able to mount a winch to and keep my factory fog lights. I will have to look up that warn skid. It looks like it is meant to go with that bumper.

only thing that sucks, the oe plastic frame cover looks aweful and really sticks out with this bumper. So I also put on a Warrior steel frame cover to replace it. Nice affordable bumpers though for sure

Not worried about the plastic piece since I'm going to get the winch mount plate with it. That should cover it up.

Now back to the regular scheduled thread programming.

On my 07 I ran the teraflex spacers and on my 12 I have the rough county. Only difference is how much cash you have to spend.
And much cheaper than buying new wheels.

What's the Torque number that the spacers are Torque at?
