    none as of yet thats why im here
    So I was rear ended this weekend and decided I decided i would use the money from insurance to go ahead and buy a new front and rear bumper. Im looking light weight bumpers as my truck is my daily and don't want my MPG to go much lower (currently 12-15), but want something that's more durable than the stock plastic. Alot of the ones posted on threads seem to not be in production anymore. So im asking for yalls expertise! I've looked into the nfab front bumper but haven't seen much talk on here about them. Any help is appreciated!

    Demello has an aluminum bumper that looks great, is stronger than stock but doesn’t weigh a shit ton.

    Steer waaay clear of brush guards and bull bars; they will inflict more damage on your vehicle than they prevent in many cases, which is why they are called "damage multipliers." If you're looking for a bolt-on solution that will offer *some* protection, Avid Offroad makes front and rear bumper guards that should fit the bill. If you really want to protect your vehicle, there is no substitute for proper steel/aluminum bumper replacements. The "Armor" subforum will give you more information on the topic.

    Bottom line, if you want to skip the weeks of research:
    ARB front bumper for maximum front-end protection
    Mobtown (or similar) high-clearance rear-bumper for maximum rear-end protection
