    looks good. i thought about doing the exact same setup at one point, but the manufacturer told me the smittybilt wouldnt fit and that was kind of the dealbreaker. how hard is it to access the winch controls?

    what shocks are you running with this? i've got bilstein 5100s at .85 with eibachs and i'm looking at getting a winch and didn't know if the reduced weight compared to a plate bumper would save me upgrading shocks

    Very nice. Comparing price vs. a plate bumper is really not the point. Although yes, this is still less than half the price, and 1/3rd the weight in most cases, it's really about keeping the factory look. I love mine for the look. It will do until I tag a rock with the bumper and need more approach angle...... :)

    you drill and add those shackles yourself? is that whole unit what the undercover piece is? also, how hard was it for anyone with this to remove their bumper and bolt this whole thing up?
