The add one like his is $1500 btw. And it's 1 1/2" Dom tubing with dimple dye plate reinforcements. It does not reinforce the frame tho, it bolts on to factory bumper mounts.

Is that about the cheapest bumper I'm going to find? Besides the Dixon Bros bumpers

It's been a while since I've been on their site and ya it is. Bumpers of this caliber aren't cheap because of what they are made from and how they are made. Most of them are built to order. If I was you I would just wait or put the money into something else. Just my .02

X2 on on waiting and putting the money into something else. Our stock bumpers may not be strong but the approachment angles aren't all that bad. Now if you tried to push a tree out of your way like I did, your bumper is gunna be fawked. Lol

The main reason I wanted it was for looks and also something more sturdy. But I'd really like to get one for the simple fact where I live you don't see them much. Every truck is lifted just about so I want my truck to stand out from the rest. I would honestly rather have new bumpers over a suspension lift lol. Idk

Just out of curiosity though, if I didn't get the bumpers what would y'all suggest I get with the money instead?

New wheels tires, tuner, intake, maybe even a light bar, no one has a light bar around here. And a lift IMO. The only reason I have a bumper is because some turned in front of me destroying my stock one.

Yea well that's not in the budget lol. I have a 2wd so that's what I'm putting my money into for the time being. I'm 21 with 3 vehicles, a house, a fiancé I'm marrying this Friday, 2 kids and 2 dogs and plenty of bills. Although a 4wd would be nice to have that's something that isn't going to happen any time soon. Lol

That's what I would do! With the bumper money I would bag it and drop to the ground with some 20-24's. that would be a sweet truck!
