What do All Y'all think?
I'm looking into getting an aftermarket rear bumper and I kinda like the looks of the Road Armor ones. Any opinions? Should I match the dark copper color or go with something else? What do y'all think? All I know at this point is the Co-Op loading bay is reaking havoc on the wimpy bumper now. Thanks for the input.

They're cool and if you're banging the stocker around you may as well get the beefier one. I'm not a fan of the front bumpers, they're just too gnarly for my taste but the rears are great. Matching the paint would be your choice really. I personally wouldn't waste the money making it look good just to scratch and bang it and ruin the paint, you know?

I like the Fab Fours rear bumper with the step pockets in the corners.
On a two tone truck...I would match the bottom color.
Not sure if you can get them with bezels to install lights in them...but that would be nice.

Road Armor's stuff is nice. If you like it check out Alien Patrol also, one of Road Armor's designers left and started his own company. They are very similar.

While I really like the design of their main bumper struckture, I don't like how far their brush gaurds extend out in front of the hood. My personal favorite bumper, and what I am eventually planning on buying for my truck is the Buckstop Outback, and Buckstops matching rear bumper. I plan on having it sprayed with Black Line-X Xtra to match my bed and toolbox.

you could always go with a ranch hand bumper. I had them on my old dodge 1500 and it took a direct hit from a forklift hauling a pallet of livestock feed. Going with a fronteir bumper this time, not as stong but it looks better plus allows me to keep my factory hitch. plus they are only like 350 bucks.
