Default To bumper or not to bumper?

I'm starting a new job this summer and I'll be having a pretty decent chunk of money coming in from graduation presents. I've been tossing and turning on the idea of adding a replacement bumper to my truck, specifically the ranch hand bull nose bumper like on this black truck.. Also here's a pic of my truck, if I do get the bumper im gonna ptm.

The bumper itself isn't bad looking, but that bar just kills me

I like that style with the bull nose or "stinger" nose but I prefer road armor or similar brands because the diamond plate of ranch hand makes it look like a work truck to me. I would definitely go for it though!

Yeah I really like the bull nose. The problem with road armor and those are they are like $2000, that's way to much for me to spend on just a bumper. But thanks, I just wish I could see it on my truck before purchasing haha

I've been going through the same debate for awhile. I prefer the solid, flat designs over the diamond plate. I'm on my phone and can't remember the brand but I love the one that replaces the top and bottom portion of the bumper except that it hangs down so low. I guess the idea is a built in heavy duty skid plate. Oh and the $2k price tag.

Dissssslike the diamond plate. Other than that, nice bumper. My vote is find something without diamond plate and get that

I don't know why everybody's hating on the diamond plate?? I have a bullnose bumper with diamond plate and I absolutely love it. I'm not afraid to hit anything with it and it looks good. Those road armors are just overpriced pretty boy bumpers
