If the only two choices you had were brush-guard or Daystar lift, I'd go with the Daystar. It's the "best" of the spacer lifts.

Brush guards are only for visual use. If you try to push anything other than maybe a tumbleweed with them, they will bend and, more than likely, dent your hood. I'm not saying they are bad looking...just not useful like you might think (like I used to think). Spend your money elsewhere.

Welcome to the forum!

read through the various posts on the lift though as some have had some problems since the rear and even front brake lines are not long enough for much of any lift.

As I know there is no full brush guard available for the KK but there are bully bars. I have a Westin Ultimate Bully Bar. Here's what it looks like

As mentioned they are not for pushing but they do protect that power steering cooler in the bottom opening from debris.

another $200ish will buy you an ARB bumper when it comes out.

Why have a flimsy tube thing for SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS! (which is more than i paid for both of the 4x4s I had before my KJ, combined, btw) that's essentially a Christmas tree for your KK (hanging lights reference...) when you can wait a little bit, pay what a lot of people pay in fast food for 2 months, and have yourself a big beefy burly manly bumper?

There's tons of cool crap for the KK just around the corner dude...just wait!
