Maybe I missed it, but how did you end up getting the winch on? This bumper is on my VERY short list (stubby, allows for a sunken winch but keeping the OEM fogs) but I can't stand having installation/fitment issues. Also, those dirty life wheels look bitchin' on there. I was going to go with those, but they are a tad heavier than I'd like so I may consider running the method 105s instead, but damn they do look good.
There are 4 spacers, so I doubled up 2 spacers & LOD is sending me 4 more. I removed the grill, installed the bumper, then the winch, then put the grill back on.
So currently it has 4 grade 8 bolts holding it on vs the 8 grade 5 bolts it came with.
LOD installed a shorty on a JL at their shop when I ran into the same issues. They agreed that it needed more spacers. Some growing pains with first year products. Especially when there isn't that many of them out there yet.
I believe the signature front was designed for the JK but adapted to fit in the JL.
When I checked grill depth at dealership, I noticed a couple Sports had a shallower grill then the Rubicon's did.
The stock fog lights aren't LED, so I didn't bother putting them in. I want togo LED's in there.
