I got mine from a place called Circle M Bumpers, really decent quality and fitment, paid $950 installed. They're out of Southern Missouri. It's been great so far!






Pics from a few months back...

I like the bumpers that David (Bulla) has. He may come in and show pics of them. I also like the Ranch hand bumpers as well.

Check these out for $1050 plus $150 shipping:
Ford BUF Bumpers

Its waaaaaaay stronger than any tube or plate bumpers - I was shocked at how easily my previous Ranchhand folded up!! I had him add the receiver hitch and D-rings to mine. He will have it powder coated any color ya want too. Mine is going on 3yrs old now and still looks great, no fading, chipping, etc.
