Yeah i really like that OEM look with the winch sitting low. Which is why I wanted the OEM look, but a used Rubicon bumper plus a winch plate just didn't seem cost effective for me. But very nice set up u got there.
Originally I wanted the Rubicon bumper but i couldn't find a decent deal on a used one. Then I found this similar set up online. I knew i wanted my winch to sit low and didn't want a bulky bumper. Am so glad i didn't get the OEM Rubicon now. I feel pictures don't do it justice.
Thanks, to be honest I never measured the before and after. Looks to be minimal since it is not noticeable so far. My next project will be adding 2 inch spacers and going to 35s. I have 20k miles on the original tires now hoping to get another 8-10k miles before I upgrade them.
I recommend the Offroam Vent phone holder. Its been on the truck for almost two years now and no issues.
