    IMG_4852.jpg IMG_4848.jpg Recently destroyed my front and rear bumpers spinning on some ice, thought it might be time for aftermarket replacements. Looking for any advice or thoughts on if it’s possible.

    I agree with this, although I don't use them....


    But ya, a rear steel bumper may have helped, but any of those slim front steel bumpers would have also folded the front end. (as would a Bull bar).

    This is the only real solution.

    Most of the aftermarket big steel front and rear bumpers will cause a lot more damage to the frame than the stock parts. ARB is one of the few that engineer their bumpers to work with the crash systems of the truck.

    That thing maybe totalled … your front crash bar and possibly the frame may be tweaked
