Hey guys I'm interested in the ARB classic deluxe front bumper, I'm wondering how they fit with the Mojave skid plate, and after installing did you notice any drivability issues with the extra weight.

I put on a stubby bumper that is 40lbs lighter than the deluxe arb. And with a winch installed I lost 3/4 in of ride height. It didn't drive worse but it does need a bit of counter balance in the rear to feel stock again. I ended up running a 3/4 spacer all around to get back to stock ride height. If you don't plan on running a winch you may one get 1/4-1/2 inch of lost ride height. I imagine if your wiling to dump 1100 on a bumper that is winch capable. That you will actually run a winch? I spent 800 for my winch and bumper. But it is a stubby.

I went with a Rock Hard mid-width aluminum front bumper and their full rear bumper, also in aluminum and have had no issues. The front bumper includes a skid plate that protects the remote shock reservoirs and the rear bumper also cover the rear corner panels.

This is exactly the bumper I went with. Only fitament issues were having to notch/cut about 1"x1" square out of the top two corners of the skid plate to get it to bolt back. Hardly noticable. I didn't really notice any droop in the front. Probably was some minor droop as I recall that stock the mojave had a little bit of "reverse rake" in the front which kind of bugged me. I also added a winch.

Awesome thanks for the replies. I do plan on running a winch, I will also take a look at the Stubbys.
