    Good question! I know Shrokworks says no change. I wouldn't think so.

    I say go with an ARB if you are going to put one on. The others cause more damage in a front-ender than it would receive without because the whole bar does not stay put and your whole front end ends up getting wiped out.

    Buy hey, I'm a 1st gen. guy too . . . . . .

    I voted Neither...but do get a bar if you feel you want/need one.

    I felt I needed one but wasn't sold on a bull bar. Finally ran across
    the Avid Offroad light bar. That's the ticket. They are a new vendor
    on TW so look them up. I got mine and it's the ticket. I got one without
    any light tabs because I satoshi'd my grill and will be putting light behind
    it.

    I've debated this ever since getting my truck. If I were gonna do it, would only be for looks.

    I didn't vote, cuz it was closed, but I'll vote no as well. I'm all about functionality, and these just don't look right on our trucks IMHO. Gives the truck an underbite. Why would you want to cover up our beautiful front ends? To each their own.
