That poor front bumper got tweaked... or is hanging by 2 unhardened 3/8ths inch bolts.

I am like John, the black truck looks like a better deal by the info posted. I would look at both. On the 02, I would see if they have the OE bumper.

The black one is priced better, but I would not necessarily call it a better deal. The 6.0 is a great engine if it gets all the needed upgrades done, and requires a lot of routine maintenance.

I disagree with the more maintenance statement.... my 6.0 doesn't take any more than I had to do with my old 7.3.

I'm with Bud. I don't really do much more than I did when I had my moms old 7.3.

My thoughts are with the lift kits there are a lot more problems with alignment , tire wear and expense when it comes to replacing those parts. I think the black truck sitting on factory suspension is high enough and looks better..Who knows how that cowboy drove that raised truck and why the bumper is so out of whack..

Didn't notice the bumper before. It's either been hit, or isn't for that truck.
