    without looking at any pricing, aluminum will be more expensive unless it is built with super thin material, at which point you have no added protection. after all these years, steel is still the go-to, most bang for your buck metal.

    unless your dead set on weight savings, you can build aluminum to be stronger per pound (imo), but at a bigger hit to the wallet

    Pelfreybilt makes a great product and not too expensive. If you have an 05-11 he is running a GB right now as well.
