Buy that. You will probably also break the bolts off that attach Tue steering box.

I know I haven't seen this bumper in person, but for $300 I'd pass on it, spend a bit more, and buy a proper winch bumper. This in the photo looks like a cheap home brew for a Wrangler, doesn't wrap, winch mount is just for holes drilled with no direct ties to frame, and no fairlead mount. Might be the photo, but the hoop looks crooked. Just my opinion on a bumper you will be winching from

Oh, I must of mistaken you saying you can get it for $300 in a FB group as something else. Make sure and post pics of you winching after everything is installed. And just because you won a winch two days ago doesn't mean you have to rush to buy a winch bumper to mount it

I'd save for a proper winch bumper. If you were just buying a front bumper to have one, with no winch, I'd say buy the homebrew one

That steering box spacer is a 100% upgrade. More than likely, the stock one will be broken as it is brittle. This one will never break and will give you support for your steering box which you will need

x2. if you really want to rush and get your winch on. look at the detours backbone.
