Smile Which aftermaket bumper?

I would appreciate any recommendations on which bumper I should get. I am leaning towards the warn HD bumper. Price isnt a problem; I just want a proven functional bumper that looks agressive. Thanks.

I voted for the ARB out of the three....it's not extremely heavy, looks good and can handle up to the 15000lb winch.

Never really cared for the Ranchhand bumpers myself.

The Warn is very nice.........and very heavy.





Road Armor, Trail Ready, Off Road Tech, Off Road Alloys, and as was mentioned Reunel all have nice bumpers as well.

I like my Ranch Hands... have the full front-end replacement and a rear bumper replacement on my '05 F-350. They're definitely big and heavy (the front bumper gets positioned with a forklift...) but I can crash into just about anything and not have a problem!

Out of those three, I voted ARB. I've heard Ranch Hand makes a good unit.

I have a Warn Classic front bumper on my 94 Bronco and it's very flexible on the ends. I can easily flex it, by hand, upwards an inch and down even more. My Hella lights also vibrate noticeably on dirt roads because of this bumper. The winch mount is solid but that's it.

I went with Reunel for my 05 Super Duty.

Try www.frontier-gear.com. It's starting to show up on more and more trucks around here.

Talking

I am leaning towards the Road Armor front and rear bumpers. The stealth rear bumper with corner guards and the stealth front bumper w/titan 2 guard. I have read a few posts about long wait times to receive orders. Has anyone heard anything like this? I would also appreciate any recomendations for dealers.

Thanks.
