Many branded steering guards are designed to fit with the front bumpers from the same brand - as the height of the different bumpers varies a lot.
You'll probably find that most of the "no-name" steering guards are designed for standard bumpers or cut-down bumpers like yours - but always ask the seller. ( I had a "standard" guard with my cut-down pre-facelift bumper).
If you fit 1 suitable for your existing bumper - beware that there can be large vertical gap if you change the bumper to 1 of the very low height steel bumpers.
You need to decide if you really want to change your bumper first & if yes, which 1 you want. Then choose the steering guard to suit.
It's also worth asking whether the guard mtg brackets are compatible with ACE - if you've got it - as not all are due to the position of the ACE ram on the rhs.
If you fit a guard, the bar can go.
