Hmmm....yeah, odd set of choices on Bumper vs PML...

No one has suspension problems with a PML...its a safe and proven mod...and it works.

And - no one has a problem with a Shrock bumper...another safe and proven mod.

As the cost difference is such that you are weighing a $50-ish mod against a $600-ish mod...and the bumper's cost was in your budget anyway...I think its pretty safe to just do both, as if you can afford a bumper, another $50 is chump change.



So - No wrong answer...no matter what you do, it will be better than stock, look better than stock, and make you more capable off road.
