Default XHD bumper with Flat Tops?

How do you guys think the XHD would look with my flat top flares? I like the look of the bumper itself but not sure how it will be with the flares. If anyone has pictures it would be great.

I already have a Mopar bumper that came with my JKU but it looks like if I put 35s on that it could possibly rub on the bumper cap. And it doesn't have a winch mount, so I'll just sell it to get the money for the new one.

Here is a couple of pics of the XHD with Bushwacker flats. I didnt mind it with the ends but I like it much better as a stubby. Plus the first pic is with 33's and the second is with 37" tires. At full stuff and turned the 37's hit. I have since sold the ends.

Thanks for that. I use my phone for the forum and still learning how to find everything.

It does look good!!! Better than this mopar one. Being more compact it should def help offset the winch weight. Looks like it may come down to the gf or the mods! Lol

Lol ya they just don't get it and ask why do you need to do that, it looks fine.

Then its, let's take this trip and stay in this hotel, yada. Then I look at cost and am like well that trip is the price of 2 new tires, or a new bumper, etc. So I'll opt for the long term gain or the mod. Haha

Ha good point. But I'm also not married so no issue there. But I'll keep that in mind if I do!
