    Hello. I am interested in a CBI or C4 overland front bumper w/ hoops. There is a few hundred dollar difference in the two. I am unable to identify any differences in appearance really. Appears the hoops set about the same. Anyone see any subtle differences???

    If not does one company tend to produce a better quality product, better customer service, etc?

    the top plate of the main bumper is a major difference.

    I've found the weight between C4 and CBI to be a bit.

    I'm currently leaning towards that C4 Steel Bumper + CBI Aluminum Skids.

    @youngmc what did you end up getting? I am in the same boat. Lead time for C4 is 14 weeks and CBI is 8 weeks and that's the only difference.

    C4 makes a great bumper. Tough, looks good, and some of the best clearance on the market

    So far what I found is that the CBI offers Aluminum on everything along with steel except the rear bumpers while C4 everything is steel. Also CBI front bumper light cutout is 20" while C4 is 30". I still haven't ordered any yet but weight is a constant concern for me and CBI is a little bit ahead on that in my mind. But I still need to decide....

    4 run, 2 don't
    Pretty sure the OP figured out what bumper to go with 2 years ago.
