Stubby ARB bumper

Unread post by RandyCarol »

He guys, starting to think of ways to blow my tax refund. I have a stock '13 Rubicon and the stock front bumper must go. I have it narrowed down to an ARB bumper, just have to decide between the delux and the stubby. The delux protects better but doesn't look as nice as the stubby. Will the stubby look odd without a lift? Just want to make sure they are legal too. Anybody have any thoughts between the two?

I prefer a mid width bumper but looks like they don't offer that so I would go stubby.

I don't think it will look all that bad with stock tires. You can always step one size next tire change even without a lift.

What were the other brands you had considered?

Hansen has a mid width that I also kinda liked. A lot of the bumpers I've seen on line look too squareish or bulky. I'm still open to suggestions. I'm also probably doing a 2.5" lift, but don't want it to look funny before it gets installed.
