There's a thread floating around where Blaine bashed a Genright or PS aluminum bumper and talked about how they are welded differently or use a different alloy. I really have no interest in any of them but there's good info there for those that are.

Savvy site seems to imply that the stock sway bar can still be used by putting the winch in the forward position and drilling new holes for the fairlead mount. Can someone confirm? An anti rock is likely in my future but right now my disconnects aren't annoying enough for that to be a priority so I need to run the stock one for a while.
This forum is itself almost as expensive as modding the Jeep. I could spend so much less and remain blissfully ignorant if I could just stop asking questions.
If by bash you mean explain the differences between two different material selections for the same purpose, then yes that has happened. The bends in the GR bumper are a clue that there is a difference. FWiW, I have seen first hand the differences between different materials and alloys used for the same purpose. It doesn't matter until it does.

I don't recall having seen a stock sway bar on their bumper, but I can't see why it won't fit.
No, he smashed the lesser quality aluminum bumper on the rocks and bent it. Didn't mean bash the other way at all.
Edit: yes and he did also explain the differences
