    I have the Elite high clearance front bumper & definitely recommend it. You can never have too much clearance. If you ever have to take a steep angle it'll come in handy. And I think it simply looks better too.

    Hmm, is there an advantage to the standard one over the high clearance? what's the point of having two versions.

    more clearance for the tires on a steeper angles. i think the high clearance looks cleaner.

    Do you have to move the windshield fluid reservoir for the high clearance one?

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    yea actually the standard looks better purely because it hide more of the internals :p

    they are both great bumpers tho :cool:

    id move the reservoir with the HC for sure. I want to move it with my standard..
