AceticWolfe My wife bought me this bumper last Christmas. I installed it myself. It weighs about 100 lbs.. I put one end on a cinder block (long way up) and lifted the other side. I lightly attached one bolt on my side and then the other side. Piece of cake doing the rest.
New to the Jeep world...is there a metal plate or cover available to hide the opening where a winch would sit if I do not plan on installing a winch right away? I'm talking about the top of the bumper. Not the front.
Since this bumper is heavier than stock, will it cause the stock suspension to sag? Curious if I need a lift or leveling kit before getting this bumper. I have a ‘16 stock sport S unlimited.
Installing any full-width metal bumper will result in the front-end of your Wrangler sagging a bit compared to stock; especially if you install a winch with it. You definitely will not *need* a lift or leveling kit in order to install an aftermarket bumper, but having one will allow for less of a noticeable front end dip. -Zach

As someone who will more than likely be solo when installing, I love that you show someone actually lifting and holding parts in place.

Is the example Jeep lifted?
It is! The maroon Jeep shown is rocking about a 3.5" lift with 35 inch tires! -Zach
My kind of jeep woman 🔥⚘
That fender flare looks bent. Lol
Do not buy, coating will peel within months and you will end up us a rusting mess and their customer service is HORRIBLE!!
