They do, way to far. IMO if you are going for that look, you need to go the whole way, remove the bumper and build your own bar. They just look tacky to me sticking out there off the bumper.

I had a Fabtech bar on my truck for about a month before deciding I didn't like how it looked at all.

How it looked with the bar

Then I went a completely different direction and was MUCH happier with the outcome.

LOL, more like little to no traction anywhere, except sand, that is the one thing they do seem to excel at is sand, which then again, bald street radials do better on sand than your average mud terrain tire so... There is a reason they are known as Thornturds
