With how our SRS system activates,by inertia switches, the front bumber really has nothing to do with how the SRS system operates.Now the ARB,unlike others,has the crush areas built in so as to "crush" like the OEM bumber and makes the unibody work the way it is supposed to(which often leads to a totaled vehicle).Now having a front bumber that does not crush like the OEM bumber has it's advantages and disadvantages,basically how much do you want to spend fixing your KJ in a hard wreck? The effects on the SRS system is not effected,though some will say it is,sorry but changing a bumber does little to effect inertia switches,it changes the vehicles inertia.



wow im really going to loose my mind with this whole bumper deal, lol, i think ill just base it off who ever has the prettiest looks haha, because now that your saying the airbags will work, then... i might as well buy yours (RL) because its beefy and i know it will handle a crash better then the arb for sure....


Truth is nobody can say which will "handle" a crash better since nobody has crashed head on w/ either. Thank goodness for that. Hopefully we will never have to see whos is better in that regard.
