    I have 2017 TRD sport with IBACH front/rear leveling kit and extra leaf.....front end is adjusted to aprox 2.5 inches (its adjustable)....have a BS/crap bull bar in front pretty much for snow banks/ice not destroying the plastic front end....Ive just moved to an area where deer are a constant issue and bull bars do little unless you hit a deer at 5 MPH and center...they always line up perfectly...NOT....anyhow looking at steel front bumpers and do like the CALI Raised install with minor cutting compared to the large chopping of some of the more rugged off road bumpers.....but the CALI Raised stealth has just a small tube/bar and the Overland is much like the larger bumpers which requires a ton more cutting. Guess what I'm asking are options/suggestions for either a similar CALI Raised stealth with a larger brush/animal bar (less cutting) or a far more rugged bush guard such as an Armadillo, but again with the way these mount it seems any kind of hit might torque is back into the plastic front end.
