With a full-width bumper and flat fenders, your Jeep will always look like it has some kinda janky mustache. The only bumper that MAYBE lets you get away with it is the Hard Rock/10A one, but I wouldn't do that either IMO. Just looks wrong.

 

If you want full width you need to buy the flats from a company that also produces the bumper to match, something like this

RIGID FULL FRONT BUMPER / WITH BULLBAR / NO WINCH / ALUMINUM - Jeep Aluminum Front Bumpers - Shop

 

I've never actually seen anyone run these fenders in real life. Would be nice to see a picture that isn't a staged promo shot...

LoD Destroyer Mid-width.

look it up

 

I agree, go with a midwidth if you want more coverage than a stubby. I have a chopped OEM bumper with VDP endcaps and it's more like a midwidth. Mine looked a little odd to me with the stock bumper.

For what its worth, I have the Rampage full width bumper with Ace wide tubular fenders. I'm happy with the setup :thumb:

 

Mine is full length with cut stock fenders. I like the look but would prefer a stubby.

 

It depends on the fenders.
If you are talking something like Poison Spyder where they really taper at the front, then a stubby will look best.
If you are talking full width like stock, just flat, then a full width can work.
Then there are some that are in between, like MetalCloak Overlanders. I was leaning towards these and think they would still work with my 10a bumper in full width mode, but the end caps are removal, turning it into a stubby if I feel the full width isn't working.

I think stubby bumpers look cool, but there is something about a DD that makes me want to have more bumper up front to protect the axle during any kind of mild collision. So i'm with you... keeping mid-full length.

 

Crawler conceptz mid front and jcroffroad mid front fenders.

 

When I first installed my flat fenders I had a stock bumper:

I thought the bumper looked too long with the flat fenders so I shortened the stock bumper and installed a VDP kit. Also painted the flat fenders to match.

 

When I first installed my flat fenders I had a stock bumper:

@jscherb What type of Fenders are those? Love the straight edged look.

 

If you're dead set on full width and flatty's, take a look at the Smittybilt SRC Gen2 full width. It's a plate steel stubby but the full width extensions are tubular, which kinda makes them less noticeable because they aren't solid plate if that makes any sense.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't go with flat fenders if you get a full-width. I love my setup. If I went flat though, I would get mid-width.

 

What bumper is that?

 

I dig the stubby fender w/ flats. Ive been going back and forth on doing some Poison crushers with my Smittybilt XRC Gen2 bumper. Some serious coin though as I want to paint to match body color (black)

 

Here's an older pic, my jeep in the foreground with a stubby and high cut fenders. Next jeep is cut fenders integrated with a full width ARB bumper. So you can pull it off with a full width, but it has to be done right.

 

First mod I did was the LoD bumper with tow bar brackets for flat towing...full width bumper. Years later I did the Bushwacker flat fenders. Not the best match...but I'm getting used to it. If I was doing it over, I'd do the mid width.
