    I'm looking at getting an ARB bumper, but I want to see how much it sticks out on the 2005+ models.

    I do a lot of city driving and parallel parking so I want to make sure I can still squeeze into good spots, but have the deer protection on the backroads when I go home.

    I was wondering if someone with a bumper can measure the distances between the red arrows with the bumper mounted on the truck.

    Thanks in advance!

    Can't be worse than my DCLB with a light bar. Mine fits in the garage but public parking is always tough especially with no rear view mirror. It shouldn't be bad if you have a SB (web pic) Protrudes out like any aftermarket bumper with hoops. Do you have an upgraded suspension for the bumper? Those are nice but the weight alone is making me look at other vendors even though I have CO's.

    It is an ARB it will only help you with parallel parking.

    I have an ARB with Icon CO's. Weight is not an issue. There is a small amount of additional overhang, but it is a very minor issue.

    Would some pics help?

    qnyla thanks so much man! That's exactly what I needed.

    I'm going to loose 5", but I think that should be OK. I was worried it would get close to 12 overall based on some of pictures I saw.


    I have an access cab with 885 and nitro's in the front. I'm not running a winch and from what I've been told 886's are still too stiff without a winch.
