Default Bumpers

So i want to get new bumpers, i need a new rear one because of rust, it is awful! and i kinda wanna do sumthing with the front as well just to change the look of the truck. i wanted to ask you guys what you think, should i go with heavy duty off road bumpers or is the truck to round for that being a step side? i have also played with the idea of converting the front to either a navigator or a newer style expedition since i have seen both of them done. didnt know what to do but would like to do something, could also do the 2003 bumper update and use the piaa lower valance just looking for some suggestions, thanks in advance ill throw up a pic just so you can see the truck to figure out what will look good

I would do a 99+ bumper and grille surround and the piaa valance and a new rear bumper, front and rear PTM like you have... I think it would look great, I think you're right about the off road bumpers being too much of a body contrast with the flare side bed

Nice girl and pup btw

Your right, I agree.. but those PIAA valances are rare and hard to find.. I've looked and haven't even found 1.

Check out Buck Stop bumpers. They should make some rears geared more towards off roading. Pretty sure even Ranch Hand makes a rear for the step sides...
