Front Bumpers

Read his directions.... your trimming a small amount of metal. It's so easy a drunken monkey could do it and no one would ever know even if you did go back to stock. IMO some "other" bumpers require the same metal to be removed - they just don't tell you about it and it looks like poop and rubs when you install it.

Relentless
ARB
Elite

There may be more that I don't know about.

Either way look at designs yourself instead of relying on others opinions. This is a large purchase and you should be well aware of what your buying.

 

Don't make me come over there!!!

 

Whoops....

Sorry Kevin.... And I did take a real good look at Chad's. if they were around when I got mine I would of gone with you for sure.





ADD ATO to that list of strapped bumpers.

 

Lol... Actually I'm not sure if Chad's has the additional frame braces on it or not since his was the first ever front I did. However all the others since then do have it, both the hybrids and plate.

 

All the bumpers listed are bad ass for sure...but I favor Relentless Products

 

I'd give Billy a call @ BruteForce, better customer service, top notch products, makes delivery dates.

Yeah I had a feeling that nothing would fit on snug perfect, which is understandable. Well thanks for the input, I'm going to look at the designs more and see what I like.

 

Lastly, ARB limits the tire size you can clear. Something about how the bumpers are built so unless you want to cut up the brand new ARB, you could have a rubbing issue if you go too large with the tires. I can't remember what size people were having an issue with, I'd have to search to find a thread on it.[/QUOTE]

brute force fab

 

oh my thats a good looking bumper you have there ^

these aftermarket bumpers look so much better when they are color keyed to the truck nice looking truck

 

he did an amazing job on the bumper. then i had a buddy spray with rockguard and color-matched. im very impressed

 

thanks man

 

whats rock guard? is it a powder coat type of finish or like a colored line-x type material?looks like it has a nice sheen to it.

 

its like powdercoat but its not baked. it hardens up and keeps from chipping. its like whats sprayed under our rocker panels if you've ever noticed

 

pretty badass!

 

Wow that does look gorgeous. What options did you get with it?

 

I highly recommend the CBI bumper, it is built incredibly well, no need to modify anything for the install, easily clears 35in tires with plenty of room to spare, has multiple places for mounting lights, holds up to a 9500lb winch. Also the thing is solid, I hit a deer doing 35 and all it did was scratch the powder coat. These guys make an amazing product, I will always recommend them to anyone and I will be buying my Rear HC bumper from them very soon. Plus the wait time from order to delivery was only 3 weeks.
