I had to bend the bracket back a little

Looking forward to seeing the stubby Venator when it comes out.

Thinking about this same set up. Did you have problems with the skid plate and your fog lights?

Do you have a lower skid plate? What did you use?

Not really, this bumper and skid are quite the challenge to put on though in all honesty the mounting plates for the bumper and tow hooks can be lined up but with the zeon platinum 10-s and a rolled bend in the middle of the mount they will not sit flat on the back side of the frame bumper mount. That being said I mounted the winch tray then winch , then loosely mounted the skid then the hooks and bumper some big drift pins help hold everything in place once you get the four inner bolts in the fog light mounts have the four outer frame bumper bolts, I did have to grind down those fog light mounts for that rolled bend shape of the frame bumper mount. Then it's just a matter of tightening everything up.

Thanks

Thanks for the tips. Do you recall how much height you lost with all this.

Rugged Ridge Arcus with a Comeup 9.5RSI

(ordered the bumper with the protector bar but they've been backordered for weeks... at this point I think I prefer it without)

How's the fit? I'm looking at this bumper with the Badland Apex 12000. Comparing the specs, the Badland looks to be a hair smaller.

I had to trim the angle brackets to the inside frame mounts and notch out the holes in the lower guard for the fog lights. The winch is a tight fit. As with most aftermarket stuff, custom fitting is required.
