Hi,
I am planning to install RANCHO 4" Short Arm Suspension in Red with RS9000XL Shocks later on , my question about bumpers if I replace stock bumpers with these:
2007-2013 Jeep Jk Signature Series Mid-Width Front Winch Bumper = Weight 72.00 lbs
2007-2013 Jeep JK Signature Series Rear Bumper = Weight 88.00 lbs
+ WARN 9.5cti-s Winch

how much of lift will I lose with LoD Bumpers & Winch ?

Dunno that set up, likely less than .5" or so. Generally a good 4" lift kit will yield 5"+, so it should not be an issue.

I have the Lod bumpers (Shorty Rear\Mid-Width front), LoD sliders and Warn 9.5 cti-s. I lost just about 3/4" with the AEV 3.5 lift.

I have the rear and really like it. My only feed back is if you enjoying crawling on rocks you may want the shorty front and rear. Good luck! Quality is good.

Have you considered the LOD armor light bumpers? They supposably weigh as much as the stock bumper, so you won't lose too much in height when you add a winch.

like the idea , dislike the looks
I prefer Signature Series looks over armor light bumpers

Thanks for your post

I changed my mind to these:

Poison Spyder Brawler MID Front Bumper with Brawler Bar
http://shop.poisonspyder.com/JK-Brawler-MID-Front-Bumper-w-Brawler-Bar-Bare-p/17-63-010-b.htm

Poison Spyder RockBrawler™ Rear Bumper
http://shop.poisonspyder.com/JK-RockBrawler-Rear-Bumper-p/17-61-010.htm

any reviews / write-ups on those?

They're all good bumpers and with any aftermarket bumper setup, you are out to see about .5"-.75" of sag regardless of what coils you're running.

LOD FTW!

My bumpers have taken a beating...and they still look awesome!
