I'm thinking about puttin a heavier duty front bumper on the jeep and wanted some input. I'm looking at one made by Rock Hard 4x4. First, I wanted to know if anyone has experience with this bumper to know it its any good? Next, it weighs 80lbs and the factory bumper cant weigh any more than 20lbs if that. How do the factory coil springs react to this much extra weight? I can give up a 1/2" of ride height in the front for better protection but not much more than that. Any other bumpers recomeded? I want something with a clean look cus my jeep is stock height and would look stupid with a big prerunner loop hangin off the front end. I like the stock look its just not sturdy enough. Thanks.

 

itll take more than just 80 lbs i got a bumper and winch prolly weighing in at 150 and i didnt notice a drop in ride height, i would def check out jcr offroad much cheaper and from all that i have heard the quality is amazing

 

X2..X2.. im actually waiting for mine. i got the stage 2 front bumper. good quality bumpers that don't hurt the wallet.

 

JCR makes great bumpers for the price.

 

ya I was looking at them too but then the shipping kills ya! Im making my own...

 

Is that on the stock coil springs? Aftermarket springs are usualy stiffer. Thanks for the info on JCR but they're not really the style im lookin for.

Thanks for everyones input. Anyone use the bumper by Rock Hard 4x4? or anything else made by them? I haven't heard much about them. I gotta give em a call and see how it mounts to the "frame" before I make up my mind.

Here's the link to the bumper

yeah that was on stock springs my lift is done with spacers so still on the stock ones

 

www.roxolidtrailaromor.com. I have the razor front. Its light and tough. With very little filing you can fit a 7/8 shackle. With winch and bumper together no ride height difference, on stock
