Default Bull bar suggestion? Other mod ideas?

So I've been in a money spending mood over the past few weeks and what better way to do that than throwing money at my truck??? It's a 2010 SCrew w/ chrome package. Rhino Liner, Truxxx front level, and Nitto 35" Trails. I know I'm going to be getting a bull bar in chrome. What does everyone like most? I'm mainly choosing between Aries, Steelcraft, and Westin. If I can avoid Westin I will. Also, any opinions on how lights would look on the bar with my truck? I can't make up my mind.

The only other thing I've decided on is a truck box. What else do you think would look good on my truck? Any opinions or feedback is always appreciated.

Thanks! You may have noticed I'm from Texas so my front plate must be visible. Is there a plate relocation mount for Aries? Or will the Westin one work?

You NEED a bull bar? Need to pop some bulls in the field to get them moving? Any other real NEED for this? Otherwise I see it like a rice burner adding stickers or a bodykit. imho these look dumb and make you a poser unless you actually use them. May as well get brush guard for the "brush" you will never see....

Where did I say that I need a bull bar? Please feel free to quote it. And what do you care? Is it your money being spent or your truck being modified? No. So mind your own business, and grow up.

Its a glorified light bar, its only called a bull bar because of how it looks, (bulldog lip) maybe he NEEDS the extra lights that it provides mounting points for.

OP if you were really wanting it for any protection then save your money, there thin and wont protect much at all
