    I hate to do this, I'm sure I could do some research and find something, but what do you all think the best rear bumper, stock or otherwise, is for 400 or less? And if stock, I plan to color match. Opinions, links, anything would be appreciated. And it needs to be able to fit the stock tow hitch.

    Story on needing a new one: I was towing a crappy lawn trailer moving out of an apartment. The latch is old and stretched out on the trailer, and it came off the ball and had a field day with my bumper, and hit the tailgate once. It's only cosmetic, but the rear needs to be replaced completely.

    im sure you could find some one's white rear bumper in the for sale thread for cheaps if you look hard.

    if your not doing any crazy wheeling I don't see a need to go aftermarket, they are quite epensive in my opinion and wont add much for departure angle without ditching the factory tow setup. I guess if you have plans for another trailer mishap then 1/4" plate would hold up lol. sorry to hear about your stocker. . . . mine is a little beat up as well

    The only stock replacement I've seen is the Action Crash Value line. And I don't particularly like the word 'value'. Anybody have any input on that?\
