Help choosing bumper colour

I have front and rear fusion bumpers I'm going to install this spring. My first thought was to get them sprayed with Adobe line-x to match the truck as it is now, but now I'm thinking black and maybe getting fender flairs sprayed black as well, leaving the adobe rockers???

Any thoughts are appreciated

Adobe bumpers and fender flares I think would look the best.
Just not sure now it would look with only the rockers adobe??

But what do I know, all my trucks were white on white on white

I voted for the Adobe bumpers to match, I love the look of either ALL body color being the same, or having the full flowing two-tone like on your KR. The Tan lower is a staple to the KR truck and i personally would think that aftermarket bumpers painted to match the adobe will look killer!!

I have not seen it done on black, but i have seen it done on the rust color and it had full replacement front and rear bumpers painted adobe to match and also a headache rack painted adobe. It was a very eye catching truck (and in a good way).

Brett I vote adobe as well. Also are you replacing the factory fender flares with aftermarket or just planning on re-painting the factory ones?

Lifting your truck as well? Or sticking with stock height tires? I think it looks kinda dumb when people put on those bolt on style fender flares and their tires dont stick out at all lol

I agree lol.

Planning on a 4.5 lift, 20x10 rims, was throwing the idea around of doing 20x12 with bushwhacker flares, but I do take my truck off-road often, think the wide rims might throw to much crap...

That'll look awesome. Even with a 20x10 and a 5" backspacing you'll probably need some wider flares. I think trucks look awesome with the tires sticking out 2+ inches without any flares but then your paint gets chewed to ****. I know because that's what I did on my F150. I also off road my diesel so I'm planning a 6" with 37x12.5s on 17x9s

Black fender flares (painted, not lineX), Adobe lineX bumpers is my vote. I'm so excited

I love the wider stance too. Trying to avoid another set of flares, I got 4 self taping screws, screwed through the factory flares into the truck holding my flaps on, lol.

When are you planning on lifting your rig? 6 inch will be sweet
