To high clearance, or not to high clearance.. rear bumper question.

It doesnt give any clearance except for moving the hitch up. I never hit my bedsides before i cut them

The only gain in departure is from the hitch but usually the stick further back

I cheaped out and made a true high clearance. Its not pretty looking but neither is my truck. It functions like it needs to. Fully tucked in the frame. Ignore my full size 315 under the bed, its only there for DDing.

 

When I first posted it when it was done I had so many requests it was crazy. I wasn’t planning on making anymore because of the amount of work that’s involved. However, I did decide if someone was able to get a group buy going I would do it than.

 

Dang, I might be willing to cut for that sexy beast.

 

lol thanks.

 

Moving the hitch is probably the biggest benefit, but I did munch my rear passenger quarter panel when I came down off a rock to quickly and the suspension compressed and the rock tagged the quarter panel. The exhaust may have actually been pushed into the panel, not sure. But after that I just cut it off and went HC.

 

Fuck yeah id be in on that

Same lol

 

Get with this guy about a group buy on a back bumper if your interested and he will fill you in on all the details

so for those who ordered a HC bumper from BruteForce Fab. did you guys have any issues?

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Looks like a radar sized hole there... Any chance that's exactly what it is?

 

No. My initial thought was to try to keep all my sensors but it was going to take more time figuring out how to incorporate them without them looking out of place.

 

Yes to high clearance.

 

How much do you guys think I can sell my stock bumper for with the hitch, BSM, and back up sensors?

 

Check the market to see what others are selling theirs for. Just go in Craigslist or FB marketplace.

 

Subbed

 

Oof. Pretty much nothing. I still have my BSM and hitch sitting in the garage years later and I just ended up throwing the plastic bumper stuff out. Good luck.

 

Dam, I was hoping the sensors and BSM would be good for some value lol.

 

I think give it some time when more trucks start getting into more fender benders.

 

This depends on which HC you choose as they provide anywhere from 3-5” of clearance.

 

I know this post is old, but that looks so similar to hell hole reservoir.
