ah good to know, I think it looks better too, but my concern I guess with most heavier than stock bumpers, is that once you get one, will you have to go all the way and get a adjustable coilover to handle the extra weight. The thing with modding is one thing effects the other, so you either go all the way or just leave it be. Even with All Pro or Demello, its almost double the stock weight and then with a winch, it must have an effect on the front suspension.
I guess what Im syaing is, you probably cant have one without the other. Heavier bumper= front suspension that can handle the load.
Welcome to the dilema!
You should never go down the road of modification if you are concerned at all about your credit card!
By the way, once you get the coilovers, sliders, bumper, rear suspension everything else can wait a bit... ie: lights, winch, beadlocks, etc.
