Front Replacement Bumpers
I've searching for awhile but I can't find many pics of the 2011 with a new bumper. I haven't even picked up my truck but I'm looking for a new bumper. If you have a new bumper on your 2011, please post it here. I've been looking at the Top Gun Baja, Ranch Hand Bullnose, and the Frontier Extreme, but all pics will help to narrow it down. Thanks!

Im not sure if I can post picture's here yet, but I'll try when I get home. I went with Toughcountry.com I got the Evolution on the front and a wraparound for the rear DWR. Had them covered with the same material as the bedliner was done with.

I had a proline front bumper on my 2008 f250 that I liked a lot and will probably be buying another one. It is a business in Prineville Oregon. Here is their website link prolinefab.com I talked to them the other day and they said they do have bumpers for the 2011 and the price was in the $1300 dollar range I do believe, can't remember exactly. But it was a very sturdy bumper and a high quality build. Sorry I have no pictures of my 08.

Cattleman HD bumpers have come highly recommended and good value for the price. I'm planning on going with the Cattleman HD Baja Longhorn edition. It won't happen for a month or so but I'll post pics when I get it on.

So much for my plan.....CattlemanHD doesn't make a bumper for the 2011 yet. I guess I'm looking into the Ranchhand bullnose and the Frontier Xtreme. Can anyone with the Xtreme installed speak to it's strength. I can't tell by the pics I've seen whether it's as strong as a Ranchhand or not, b/c it appears to be sheet metal up front in places.

Alot of it might boil down to whats manufactured closest to you - by looking at those things seems like shipping would be pretty spendy!

How many of you have installed your own front end replacement? I'm assuming with a hoist, and jack stands, the install would be straight forward. Dealer wants $75 for install and I figured I could save that pretty easily.
Also, how many have sold their stock bumpers themselves. Dealer will give $150 for it and I'm assuming retail is around $350 but might not be worth the trouble if I can be done with it right away.

I kept my stock bumper just incase. When i installed my Top Gun front replacement, i attaced several ropes to the bumper and hoisted it with a fork lift at work. If you have a hoist or a army of people to lift it, its a very straightforward install! I spent about a hour all together installing mine

I have a Tough Country on my 08 KR, painted same color as truck and I get tons of compliments. They do make a 2011 as I will be pulling the one of the 08 and putting one on my 11 when it arrives.
I personally like the Tough Country more than the Road Warrior and the like. Cost for the 11 is around $1,300 depending on options. They offer factory color powdercoat or bedliner.
I will be selling the one from my 08 if anyone is interested.
I'll try to post pics
You can see it in the pic of my ride, but I'll try for an enlarged one.
