Help needed choosing a low profile bumper (and winch)

Title is sorta true, I definitely have a winner in the clubhouse.

I have purchased (but not received) sliders and skids. I'm concerned about a lack of actionable recovery points at the front of the vehicle with a 2019 Sport. Thus, I'm also looking at a bumper with those built in. I also (probably later) want to add a winch and maybe an auxiliary light. I'd like to cut as little as I have to, or at least have a very clear understanding of what to cut and the cut to look like I meant it to be that way.

Options as I see them:

• Warn (won't work with Pro grille TSS)
• SOS (not the biggest fan of the cutouts)
• SSO (hoop may work with Pro grille TSS)
• Victory (less cutting, but I don't care for the logo)

Ones I just learned up and know nothing about:

• RRW
• Mobtown
• Main Line Overland
• Body Armor
• Greenlane (a bit spendy)
• Outpost Offroad

And DVB (absolutely not).

The SSO is in the lead right now, but I can't find any confirmation if the hoop interferes with the TSS on the Pro grille. Whichever bumper I go with I will eventually need to pair it with a winch, and if I go with the SSO I need to pick one that fits, and decide if I want access holes. It looks better without for me. I'd also appreciate a rec for a more inexpensive light bar than the ones they list on their page that is compatible. I'm not really looking to spend the cost of another bumper to run an LED light bar.

 

I’m a big fan of the look of the SSO bumper so that would have my vote. I like it better without the access holes or light bar personally.

 

Victory 4x4 Blitz with a Warn VR EVO 10s has been a great clean combination. Taken some good hits offroad and held up really well, no issues or complaints.

 

Body Armor Hiline with a Smittybilt 9.5 Gen 3 winch (steel cable). Bumper cut is just the chin. Will take up to a 10k winch. 2 recovery points. If you go synthetic on the winch then you dump the rollers and get a much smaller aluminum mouth and it weighs like 20 pounds less. Truck isn't lifted. The bumper and winch brought the nose down about a 1/4 inch. This pick is on the beach in the NC Outer Banks.

 

I have the SOS slimline bumper but have to recommend against them for the lack communication and customer service. The SSO bumpers look awesome. Go for one of those.

 

SSO Slimline ordered. OEM+, bull bar, Heise 20" cutout. Plan to fill it with the Heise SL2014 and Smittybilt X20 syn at some point.



Appreciate the feedback, I suppose this thread can be locked.
