very nice ! out of curiosity, does adding a big bumper in the front affect the braking capabilities for the rear brakes ie( in the rain, mud , etc)

Mine weighs in at 80 lbs. and I didn't notice any problems. When I add my winch, that may change things. I have a link in my sig for my bumper.

No a big bumper will not lift the rear enough to affect braking! Lmao sorry but that's funny hahaha

Clean lookin bumper tho! I personal think most boxed in bumpers like yours don't turn out good when they add a stinger, but if you take your time & get just the right bend & angle it could be sick!
