Default New Bumpers

Just installed my new front bumper today. It's a Black Horse with a 20" light bar, Rigid SAE fog lights, and Rigid Dually lights.

Interesting. The back bumper has the GM notches for foot placement. How bright are the reverse led lights?

I had a 2002 Avalanche and can tell you the bumper steps are great. I used them all of the time for the 14 years I owned it.

They're pretty bright. They throw a good amount of light to about 30 - 40 feet. I got the flood pattern rather than the spot pattern because I wanted them to light up around the camper when I'm setting it up. I didn't think I needed the distance of the spot pattern.

I like them so far, and I've only had that bumper on for 2 weeks. They were one of the 'must haves' on my list for any replacement bumper. That, adn the ability to keep the factory hitch were to 2 most important things I was looking for. I got both in an inexpensive set.

They have the front for $800 less the 5% 'Nice Guy' discount. (I paid $760 for mine.)

I really like them. They're good quality, fit well, and the installation instructions were written by someone who speaks English as their first language and uses proper grammar!

They're probably not as good as the Fab Fours, Rhinos or some of the other top end brands, but they definitely don't look like cheap bumpers. They're definitely a good value.
