    After my recent encounter w a wall that came outa nowhere.. i like the idea of a front n rear bumper. Yup.

    This truck aint getting any exteme anything. Pulling boat n roadtrips at most. And being in miami, i aint dunkin it in the mud. The bumpers are to smash walkers and those stealth ninja walls, or posts, or whatever may be in my way...watchout!!! But id like to be able to pull a fence post turd outa the ground, or pull whatever to wherever with a cable & hook too.

    I will use as a step up for bed or whatever i need to get up there for.

    Whats on ur taco?!?!?

    So you're aware, HD bumpers like that will require upgraded suspension to handle all that extra weight. Airbag sensors also may not play well with these bumpers.

    I thought airbag sensors were tripped by G-force?

    Your thread started count to post ratio is pretty big. You can ask all these questions in existing threads without the click bait title's.

    Yes, sensors in the frame rails. Changing out the bumper could change the timing of the deployment, theoretically.
