    I am thinking of adding a CBI front bumper and sliders. I would go with a rear bumper but am concerned about losing the BSM, parking sensors and camera. I do not hardcore off road and daily drive my truck on road where these are useful. Would it look silly to have the front and sides armored on a 3" lift w 285s and then a stock rear?

    Apologies this is my first time modding a truck so it's all new to me.

    You could relocate the camera onto a swing-out or even a bumper. Some fabricators drill out holes for back-up sensors, so find out with CBI if they could do it as well (iirc they do). So you're only losing BSM - just like I did with Mobtown's bumper. Not a terrible loss, and something you'll get used to. You could always add a convex mirror, or swap out yours for Rav4 one (I did as well).

    BTW, your truck will not look silly with nor without the aftermarket bumper. Unless you'll think it will....
