Done myself!

With winch lights, and bumper, I have added about ~125 lbs to the front end and my height dropped almost 3/8" Got some crazy nose dive now.

Mine went down too, But I was looking for it too, The Zone Lift I have actually raised the front too much, (About 1/2" too high) and I think I'm about level now...

Your's is looking great!

Looks great. I didn't get the drop or nose dive. Squatch package maybe? It does yaw a little more turning though.

Yup Mine yaws as well especially on heavy braking, but I beleive a 2 door is more suscepticle to it plus the stock black diamond shocks.

Originally I was going to do just a leveling kit but I don't think that is the best bet due to all of that. Right now I have my eyes on some 4 door 7mt black diamond take offs. Supposedly its about a 180lb weight difference up front. Hoping that will equate to a stiffer spring rate and help me compensate for the nose dive.

If the spring rate is higher, I can't see why it wouldn't help.

So the Smittybilt seems to fit a lot better than the Warn or Superwinch, I know it's not easy to tell in this picture, but there is a good half inch between the pre-runner bar and any part of the winch. That actually gave me a fair amount of space for the light bar mounts that I put in front of it.

The fitment with the factory bash plate is great.

My Reward for being a good Virginia Tax Payer, gotta have a big ugly white thing on the front;

I drilled two 7/64th holes in the lip immediately below the winch plate, and tapped them to 5/16th-18. I cut some 3 inch pieces of all thread, ran them through and put nuts on both sides, and then put some bar knobs on so I can take the plate off to use the winch.

I can see the gap. That is more what I expected, even with the Warn, and now, hopefully I'll see it on the new bumper.

Good job/thinking with the studs and bar nuts. Will definitely come in handy if you need the winch!

TC Customs just posted a video with the FabFours bumper and added the parking sensors. Mounted a warn winch too.

starts at 6:50

Has ANYONE run this bumper with the Warn winch WITH their control pack relocation kit WITH a camera? I'm curious how much of the screen would be obscured with the control pack totally gone off the top of the winch. That may be what it takes to push me towards this verses the SVC Baja.

Judging by this angle from TC customs. The pre runner bar probably blocks a lot. You ca. probably give tc customs a call to find out.

FabFours stubby and Warn EVO 10s

I don't get how this is classed as a "stubby" bumper, it's as wide as the entire body, and overlaps half the tire.

In Wranglers where that concept originates it means the bumper is only as wide as the grille (which is significantly narrower than the cabin), and not overlapping the tires at all.

They still want the bumper to protect the fenders I suppose. which is why Jeeps can have a much shorter bumper. Some of the bumpers I have seen go out to meet the fender flares.

I suppose if we're comparing to Jeep bumpers this would be what is usually called a 'Mid-Width' bumper, protecting the entire grill area, vs a Stubby that just barely goes past the frame rails. But jeep flares come much further in than the Bronco's too, so I'd guess it's going to take some time for the terminology to settle on Broncos.

Does the bumper come with the fairlead bracket or you guys buying that separately?

Have any of you guys cut the wings off the oem skid plate to clean the lines up some under the bumper?

 

[zuke]

It comes with a winch plate the fairlead bolts onto, yes
