Installed a new hd bumper with winch and now the front bounces , steering wheel doesn’t shake , Luke it starts hopping after I get over 45-50 mph
Front bounces after new bumper installed

The only thing I can think of is that your current suspension can't handle the additional weight and therefore any imperfection you hit in the road is felt substantially with the weight of the bumper.
What suspension do you have on there? What do you run your tire pressure at?

His profile says "4 inch body lift on 33” tires and mammoth rims."
I need pics of this!
Seconded. We need pictures immediately.
It also says 2004 "Unlimited tj" with 5-speed, which doesn't exist. It looks Limited to me.
Yeah, my guess is that your suspension can't handle all that extra weight of that steel bumper. Those things weigh quite a bit compared to aluminum bumpers.
I run 30lbs psi on tires . Tires have less than 500 miles on them and rims are new also withbless than 500 miles
30 psi isn't too bad. You need some better shocks and springs to handle the extra weight.
Might just be blown shocks. No rebound dampening.

If you get a 4 inch suspension lift,then you will be a 8 inch lift,that will be cool as hell!(j-k)
Prob just do a 2.5 or a 3” lift , if I do 3” I’m gonna drop the body lift some
Shock is blown. Shocks control bounce. Springs are fine. That’s what they do: bounce.
Very good post.
Chris please award him 50 of John Coopers points for this outstanding piece of work.
Shoot, make it 100.
John keeps trying to redeem his at Chuck E. Cheese for a plastic slinky anyway.
