New owner soon. Pics to follow in 4-6 weeks. I was planning to hold out until the holidays, but my dumb ass tried to run over a tree in a swamp and my fat lip got a bit busted up.
I really like this bumper. I think it's my favorite looking one for the 3rd gen. I like the low profile look it has, but still covers stuff unlike a tube bumper. Any idea how much it weighs? Would my coils sag much putting this on in place of a stock bumper?

85lbs. So, its 40-45 heavier than stock
The big deal is the winch and steel line. That's when it gets heavy.
Thanks!
Yeah, that part kinda slipped my mind earlier.
Any idea about how much all that would cause the front to sag? Maybe like 1/2" or so? I really don't have a clue...
Just when I thought I was decided on the new CBI Hybrid you guys post this!
This was posted two years ago. [emoji39]
Spam bot got you, lol.
I have a CBI Hybrid front and I must say... I'd probably trade someone if they wanted to. Love the look of these.
It will depend on the springs. But maybe 1/2". Coilovers are great because you can crank them back up if needed.
My 881's sagged about 1/2". When you install a bumper and winch on coils not made for the extra weight they will sag, soften up and wear out faster.
I still think that I might like the look of the CBI just a hair more (though every time I look at the AO, the gap shrinks) but it seems like the AO is substantially beefier in the construction and in the mounting system. How Scotty manages to do all that, keep the clearance maximized and the weight so small baffles me.
I would love coilovers, but I don't know if they are right for me price wise and for my application. For a lift I'm thinking like 2 inches max and was planning on 5100s with either 99 Talls or some sort of OME spring. Any thoughts on how a new set of 99 Talls would handle the extra weight versus the OME springs? Probably not as well I would assume...
Look at the pictures of NateMob's old 3rd gen. He went from a CBI to an Addicted OffRoad bumper. It looks much meaner with the Addicted OffRoad I think.
