Steel for Aluminum?

Just testing the waters here... doubtful but maybe there’s a unicorn out there that would like to trade aluminum for steel.

SOS Concepts steel bumper with full hoops.

Looking for any aluminum bumper really.

 

Tired of the weight?

 

u dont want aluminum, just do 700lb springs like i did, totally rides nice with full steel and stronger

 

I agree with little squirt, just do 700lb springs and you'll be just fine. All together with my bumper and skids I'm at about 180lbs and it handles just fine.

 

dats a sexy azz truck!


i have about 7 1/2" on stock flares & 285's with this much threads showing, bout 6 threads.



@JMY24 didn't mean to hi-jack, just throwing out my experience with kings and full load up front, including skids if your running stock 600lb springs. 700lb will change everything

 

Thanks man! All I need is a winch now like you. I'm digging those dual ditch lights you have on each side, I have side shooters and they light it up so good. I can only imagine having 2 per side! I'm showing about 9 threads and have plenty of clearance with my fiberglass. Can't wait until my LT kit comes in!!

 

That was plan A.. just kind of torn. The taco lean is horrendous with the 600s too. Not sure how much difference the 700s will make with that

 

Do you have the drivers side preloaded more than the passenger still?

 

Oh yeah about 9 threads id say and im running no sway bar. 700lb makes night and day diff.

 

700lb springs will make a difference I promise you. It takes an extra 100 lbs to compress those springs an inch as compared to the 600 lbs.

 

No votes for #650? 700 seems kinda stiff

 

Its stiff if you dont have a bumper and winch like he does but in this case he does. That bumper has to weigh 130 lbs at least and another 50 or so with his winch depending on the line he is running

 

Ok getting a pelfreybilt non hoop and alsonno winch so hopefully 650s enough for me. Also no armor for awhile if ever

 

I think you'll be just fine like that. That non-hoop bumper is nice!!

 

That will be perfect.

Also, OP get 700’s. It rides like a Cadillac. No taco lean either.

 

700s it is
