UCF bumpers come in steel or 6061-T6 aluminum, and in widths from frame-width to full width. Find your Jeep below, then choose the material and width that fit your build.
Front bumpers for the TJ & LJ
| Bumper | Width | Weight | Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel Front Bumper | Just over 46" | 27 lb | Winch plate, D-ring mounts |
| Steel Frame-Width | 33 3/4" | 22 lb | Winch plate, D-ring mounts |
| Aluminum Front Bumper | Just over 46" | 9 lb | Winch plate |
| Aluminum Frame-Width | 33 3/4" | 7.5 lb | Winch plate |
| Steel Ultra-High Clearance | Just under 28 lb | D-ring mounts, fairlead mount | |
| Aluminum Ultra-High Clearance | Just under 10 lb | Fairlead mount |
The Ultra-High Clearance bumpers gain inches of approach clearance and mount in the factory location, using the factory anti-sway bar bushing bolts for two of the four top bolts. Weights are before options: a steel winch plate adds 24 lb, an aluminum one 8 lb, and a winch hoop 8 lb.
Building a dedicated crawler? The YJ, TJ & LJ Rock Crawler Front Bumper tucks the winch as low and as far back as it can go. It welds on, and the front cross-member and factory steering gear box come out.
Front bumpers for the JK, JL & JT
| Bumper | Width | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Stubby Steel | 44 1/2" | Under 90 lb |
| Stubby Aluminum | 44 1/2" | Under 50 lb |
| Mid-Width Steel | 60" | Under 90 lb |
| Mid-Width Aluminum | 60" | Under 50 lb |
All four fit the JK, JL and Gladiator, come with the tow points, winch tray and all the mounting hardware, and bolt to the frame with 16 bolts. They reach back to the lower cross-member to protect the Rubicon's electric sway-bar disconnect, and the winch sits about 1/2" forward of the grille.

Steel or aluminum?
Aluminum takes a lot of weight off. On our aluminum bumpers with D-ring mounts, steel pieces under the aluminum carry the D-rings, so they never rely on an aluminum weld. We don't weld D-ring mounts onto the aluminum TJ and LJ front bumpers.
Winch plates and hoops
Winch plates come in 1/4" steel (24 lb) or 1/4" 6061-T6 aluminum (just under 8 lb) for the CJ (aluminum), YJ (aluminum) and TJ & LJ (aluminum). They use the standard 4 1/2" x 10" winch pattern that fits Warn and most others, and they reuse the factory hardware.
Bolt-on winch hoops of 1 3/4" DOM tube fit the TJ & LJ, YJ and JK, JL & JT. The JK, JL & JT hoop bolts to the top of the bumper; order it with a UCF front bumper and we'll drill the bumper before it ships. Building your own hoop? Use our winch hoop plates.
Carrying a big tire on a JL?
The JL Heavy-Duty Tire Carrier Bracket carries a 37" or 38" tire on a 17" or larger wheel. The outer and inner reinforcement brackets take load off the tailgate.
What's included and finish
The JK, JL & JT front bumpers and the JK rear bumpers come with all the mounting hardware. The TJ & LJ front bumpers don't include hardware or tube work; each bumper page lists exactly what comes with it. Everything ships bare, so you can finish it however you like.
