    Had a little accident a few weeks ago with my front bumper. I'm looking to upgrade and I like the idea and look of a hybrid bumper.

    All the pics I see are of lifted trucks. Does anyone have any pictures of a stock truck with this style bumper?

    It wont look any different, just lower. If you like them on lifted truck you will like it on your unlifted truck. Go for it.

    It should look pretty much the same, the main difference is depending on the bumper the added weight to the front could make the nose sag down so heavier springs would be needed to compensate for that.

    I was hoping that the hybrid bumper being lighter than a plate bumper I could get away with the stock suspension.

    Good to know it won't look much different than the pics. I didn't know if it would look silly with no lift and "stockish" tires.

    Pelfreybilt hybrid bumpers are 95# without a light hoop. Their plate bumpers are 110# without a light hoop.

    True. I guess that won't help much.

    Did anyone notice a significant change in handling when they added their bumper?
