Would like pics of YJ's with an ARB bull bar

Plus, anyone have any problems with longer shackles with this bumper at full flex and do you have to have a specific winch to fit it?

Here is a pic of mine, I never had a problem with the longer shackles hitting the bumper. The winch is a Warn 9500.

I know the X8000i will fit, not sure about the M8000i. I would think it would fit. There is a good bit of room between the top of the winch and the bumper hoop.

One thing I forgot too...is the hoop angled like the TJ's or is it vertical?

It's vertical.

That's the one thing I didn't like. It's hard to tell by some of the pics I've seen in the past.

only problem i had with 2" lift shackels was a broken leaf spring from beating it up. other then that i didn't have any problems.

As was said before there is plenty of space for the longer shackles. The ARB's are great except they are heavy and you will have problems if you want to get tires bigger than 35's in the future. The shorter hanson bumpers are really good too. ARB is probably the strongest available and people have hit all kinds of things on the road without damaging the bumper.
