Default Stubby bumper on nearly stock JK?

OK. So I posted this question over in the JK Talk section, and nobody responded, so I'll give it a try here. What I am looking for is opinions on installing a stubby bumper on a nearly stock JK. I have a 4-dr Sahara with Rubicon wheels and MT tires. I will be installing a 3/4" front spacer, but no lift. My questions are, do you think a stubby bumper would look ok with this setup? Would it look ok to keep the stock rear bumper, but change the front to a stubby? Does anyone have pictures of a stubby installed on a stock JK?

it looked ok,,,

It really needed a lift to make it look a little more aggressive. But I think a winch would have done the job too..


If your not putting in a winch, they also make a non-winch mount bumper with factory fog light cut outs.

Thanks for the pic! That's what I wanted to see! I looked all over, but I guess I didn't look good enough to find it.

Hey, I like your bumper--looks especially good after your other mods. Since I do have the MT's, I'm thinking it might not look too bad on mine, since the tires do make it look a little more aggressive than my stock Bridgestone's. Do you know about how much weight this added to the front of your Jeep?

Um.. i dont know, less than 75 pounds.... maybe less than 50?? i really have no idea, I didnt notice it lower the front end at all..

I think it would look good with MT's... that would make a big difference... Its definetly a improvement over the stock JK bumper
