Fella's I bought my 2010 JK R.U. a couple weeks ago and am beginning the build. I started off with a 2" suspension lift (Mopar) and am getting ready to buy a bumper/winch combination. I have been looking at the Smittybuilt XRC front bumper and was going with a Warn M8000. My question is, What is the quality of the SB XRC? I was reading thru other post and it seemed a few were unsatisfied with the XRC rear bumper (fitment problems) but I can't find anything on the front XRC bumper. Can anybody share any comments good or bad about the SB XRC?
More than likely after the winch bumper goes on I'll install a 3/4" daystar spacer up front to help compensate for the spring compression. Good idea?
Thanks

 

I just threw on Smittybilt SRC's front and rear. Other than the fact that Quadratec sent me the wrong spare tire tailgate mount for the rear bumper, it was a very nice fit. The only issue I am having is the powder coat finish comes off real easy. I have a dozen chips and I have had it on for a day. Kind of like to enjoy the nice new look before F'in it up.

 

I installed my smittybuilt XRC bumper and Warn 9000i last weekend on my new 2010 Rubi 4 door. It fit great except the far passenger side bolt right next to the swaybar disconnect motor. It is damn near impossible to put it on. I am going to drill another hole and relocate it.

If you put the winch on first you will need to cut 1/4" off the bumper support corner so it does not hit your winch base. I am happy with the construction of the bumper and I have no chips in it yet, wait till I get back from Moab next week.

I just put the Rock Hard bolt in sport cage today. I am tired! Primed, painted, clear coated and installed.

My 6" lift was installed last week and my 37"s go on tomorrow!!!!

Thanks Wooly, I'll keep considering the SB XRC.
