    Fab Four's front bumper 3/16 Steel for winch. Fab Four's rear bumper 3/16 Steel. Modified, plugged holes for backup sensors, put side protectors attached to side of bumper and cut holes for LED lights. I also added the three quarter Diamond mesh to Bumpers for traction when stepping on.IMG_20160822_165257510_HDR.jpg Screenshot_2016-08-01-09-13-22.jpg Screenshot_2016-08-01-09-13-12.jpg

    was thinking about putting on the same bumper but the version with the grill guard.

    Have you had any problems with the suspension or handling given the additional weight on the nose?

    Front bumper looks a tad on the small side.

    Rear looks nice

    No but you can feel different going over Bridges the bounce is more pronounced not as smooth because of extra weight and if hit brakes hard nose studs a little always downshift transmission
    No I have not had any issues with handling but you can feel the extra weight.
    nose Dives a little if you hit brakes really hard. With all armor on drop quarter inch all around. Did a little off-roading this weekend suspension settled in with extra weight dropped another quarter inch was already thinking about putting bigger coils and leaf pack anyway

    Yeah, I was thinking about doing coil overs and leaf pack as well, what do you think about icon? I was going to get 2.75", stage 2 or stage 4 (with tubular uca's and 700# coils)
