Default HD Bumper, Can't Decide

Looking at getting a new heavy duty front bumper for my 2010 SCrew, and can't decide between 2. The Road Armor Lonestar, and the Buckstop Classic 1. Both are around $2k. I like the looks, lines, and grill guard on the Road Armor. But like the Buckstop because it has a 2x2 reciever, winch door and is built like a beast. Any input and/or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

Ranch Hand Summit: http://www.autoanything.com/bumpers/...t-front-bumper



Iron Cross RS (with front 2" receiver): http://www.autoanything.com/bumpers/...-front-bumpers

Feel free to ask any specific questions or if you need a forum price on anything.

An attractive, functional, aluminum grill guard and or bumper would be nice to see.

these steel units add too much weight considering how easy it is to overload 1/2 ton trucks as it is.

Trailer, bed cap , 3 adults, cargo, etc......easy to go over the limits without the extra iron.

Thanks AutoAnything, those are some nice setups, especially those ADD bumpers.

That's a good point too. Overloading the truck would be more of a concern for me, but I don't really tow that much, and if I do they're small loads.

Do you have a EcoBoost? If so, any of the above mentioned bumpers will kill the airflow to the stock CAC located behind the bumper, which causes drivability issues. If you have an Boost, there is only one winch bumper that I have found that works with the stock CAC. It is made by Hammerhead (linky below). This is what I am saving for. Although, you can use any of the above bumpers on a Boost, if you spend an additional $1400 for a Full Race CAC that relocates the CAC behind the grill (which is where Ford should have put it in the first place).

No, I don't have the Ecoboost, I got a 5.4. That hammerhead looks like it would be an easy one to mod.

And thanks Jaleel for the suggestion, I'm just looking for something a little bit beefier.
