Default Push bumper recommendations

I am thinking of putting a push bumper on my truck. Any recommendations? Would like something that wraps around the headlights preferably.

Haven't seen that done on one of these yet, police cars and trucks yes. They look damn ugly though IMO. Just strap a tire to a bull bar or brush guard if you want to push something. Are you having difficulty judging your stops, -running into people ? In that case....a municipality site might sell them, government auctions perhaps.

If your are talking brush guard yes I have one on my truck. But I would never try to push with it.

i have a rancher grille guard by go industries on my truck. personally think it looks a lot better than other guards and is very strong and saved my frontend multiple times. i like it so much i actually just got it powder coated after 8 years of use. pickup specialties seems to have the best price of 489
