    If you want a real man’s bumper, get yourself an ARB. Anything else is pathetic (I may be biased)

    I was looking into those. Is C4 Fab the only company that makes them now? Does relentless fab anymore? Didn't see them on their site.

    edit: referring to the brackets.

    US Off-road is still making theirs as well for the lo-pro. Could also check with a local fab shop to possibly get one cheaper if you wanted. When you look at them closer it doesn’t look like there is a whole lot of crazy design elements to it.

    SOS Concepts, I believe eddy is running a 20% off tax sale at the moment if I’m not mistaken. Great bumpers and they’re a pleasure to do business with.

    I am not sure. I was happy with the c4 brackets. They look strong. Also, if you run a remote resi like king, the king bracket will have to be slightly modified. It's not very difficult though.

    I have a lot of pics. Let me know if you want to see a particular angle, etc.

    I don't have any fancy shocks, just plane jane 5100's and the pic you posted in here is a pretty detailed pic of the bracket so I don't think I need anymore. They look beefy and might be the only option anyways.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I'm guessing the only aluminum one is Aluminess and the rest are steel,

    speaking of heavy steel, with any plate bumpers (front, rear)
    does it become necessary to change suspension with it?
