For the best price I would check out boondock bumpers, they make some great bumpers and are cheaper then the other places.

You might also want to check out Ranchand or Frontier Gear as well.

My point is if you can have the function that you want and not have to deal with a hideous piece of crap on the front end, why not

He also said he did not need a winch which I would think includes a fair lead for a winch. I have personally installed and seen the Ranchands pulled on beat on and they come back for more. I have not seen those other bumpers, or if I did I was not impressed by them enough to ask what they were.

I have seen Boondock bend like a soda can, I have seen frontier crumple the same....Ranchhand are stout but they aren't for offroading they are way way way to heavy and the corners are weak, only the center section is stout, plus they are for ranching and they are absolutely hideous looking, something out of the 1970's era....new trucks new styling.... Road Armor takes forever if you get it at all but they have a good product, Fab Fours is great but over prices, Alien Patrol is Road Armor but under a different name, same customer service issues...IRON BULL is great with a great price, Buckstop is Decent with ok pricing, Winch Ready is junk, Trail Ready is even worse....I can go on and on and on if you want some real good information...

Nice to hear from the guy who is a vendor for Iron Bull Bumpers on this forum! BoonDock's guarantees our bumpers are just as good as the other guys & also have enough class not to cut down our competition, there are other great bumper manufactures out there, it is all a matter of the customers personal preference and price range![/SIZE] [SIZE=4]By the way, where exactly did you see one of our bumpers "crumble"? What truck was it on? We are growing like crazy but we still know who & where our customers are. We have had 2 customers contact us after being in a wreck and 1 that hit a huge mule deer in NM, all three were contacting us to thank us for saving their truck! We are having a new website deisgned and once its up there will be a customer testimonials page. Even now we are not going to be cutting down your product, I dont know anything about Iron Bull Bumpers but I'm sure they are a good product, like I said, its all up to the customer!

I saw a Ranch Hand on a Ram today and it seemed like the bumper was too short. The plastic inner fenders hung down below the bumper.
