I am thinking of upgrading from stock to the full-width AL front bumper from Rockhard. Anyone have experience with these? What do I need to know? Rock Hard 4x4 JK Full width Front Bumper, Aluminum - RH-5045

 

No experience with their bumpers. But I do have the engine skid and step sliders and love them. Quality built. James and family are pretty nice people as well and very helpful if you have questions. I called the shop phone on a Saturday about a question on my install of sliders, they were closed but a couple hours later James called back and helped me out.

 

$1200 for one bumper?

 

A lot of coin, but when you compare it to an AEV made from steel that's the same price, not too bad. Haha

 

Their steel bumpers have been popular. And the aluminum should have the same quality.

 

My thought on this is that the weight of the AL bumper is much closer to stock, springs will not compress (sag) compared to a similar steel bumper. Could save spending in leveling kit/lift, etc. ...for now, anyway
