    Just pulled the trigger on the Relentless bumper (too hard to resist the sale!).
    Will update in a few months on the TRD Pro skidplate compatibility if no one else does first.

    I see you've already made your purchase with Relentless, but just for future reference for the others watching this thread, our Lo-Pro bumper DOES work just fine with the PRO skidplate.

    The easy answer is no.

    If you are planning on running a winch there won't be enough room for the dual row light bar(even if you relocate the solenoid), maybe you can fit a single row that cuts out the lower grill opening(don't know don't have one). Even if you don't plan on running a winch you'll have to create your own mounting brackets for the light bar as the brackets that caliraised sells for the dual row light bar uses the same bolts that the bumper mounts to and there is not enough thread length to mount both.

    Actually, yes it works, there is enough thread since you have to remove the the crash beam which gives you about five turns once you stack the Caliraised brackets on top of the so slimline plates. The only thing needed is some trimming on the Cali bracket (driver side only) so it match the shape of the sso bumper. You also have to shorten the Cali brackets by 5mm since the Sso is thicker than the crash bar, otherwise the brackets would hit the plastic. Winch wouldn't work tho, you would interfere with the led bar. Hope that helps!

    Interesting, as there are only about 2 threads showing past the nut for me with just the bumper. Definitely not enough thread left to install the bracket and have proper thread engagement of the nut. Is yours a 2nd gen or 3rd gen, mine is on a 3rd gen?

    3gen and 5 thread left after putting the slimline on. Just see my post in the blazing blue tread and you'll see ;) nice and solid. Bracket on driver side had to be trimmed but that's all

    After reading through I think I am decided on the SSO but I found this install video on youtube (not my truck) and thought it was one of the cleanest looking for the C4. Not sure if it's already somewhere on TW but thought I'd share!
