Has anyone had any issues after installing a 10k winch and light stealth bumper? I was wondering if this caused long term front end problems? I have Bilstein 6112 in the front set at 2.2.

I’m about 3 years into a Evo 10s and a SSO slimline bumper on stock suspension and haven’t noticed anything unusual. Still drives like it always has.

Hard pulls can bend and crack the end plates that the bumper mounts to. Other than that, it's extra weight hanging out at the end of a lever in front of the suspension. OEM components may wear out faster. Same as if you're jumping tire sizes/weights significantly.
