How far does your winch bumper stick out?

I'm just curious as to whether my winch bumper sticks out that much farther than other similar choices. For kicks, measure and post.

Mine:
Logan's 8" between the shackle mounts

Could be better, could be worse.

I wish they hadn't cut the to clear the fender support. I would rather have them come down to use the lowest bolts. But, this Jeep isn't meant for the Hammers. Been they, done that with the CJ (of course with no winch at all!).
 
It will look better with a winch and maybe

or something. The frame brackets are alot better than I thought. Approach angle is the thing that may suffer.
 
It would look a ton better if you used adjustable control arms and pushed you axle forward to where it should be. Most guys can push it forward even an inch or so forward of the stock position with no problems.
Your tires are sucking it to the backs of the fenders. Thats making the fenders grill and that bumper seem like they stick out alot farther than they do.

[FONT=&quot]Sorry, I have never received a PM from you.
As for the design, what you see is what you get. I built it one piece at a time with a lot of time spent head scratching.
Written plans... well I have many pages of nearly illegible sketches but no plans.
The goal was to keep the bumper as stock looking as possible while making sure the winch was securely anchored.[/FONT]
