Apparently they do make them for our style trucks. I was looking on 4wheelparts web site last night, and they DO offer them for our cab styles. But I will call them before I get ready to buy them. Which maybe sometime (gotta save up ALOT of cash for those.) lol

Wish I could do it now. But when/if I do it, I will get the back bumper to match. And, unfortunately, I don't have $3,000 floating around right now. LOL So, I guess I will have to dream until I can afford it.

Dunno the weights of them. I just sent them an email asking what they weigh.

I would suggest you add a set of torsion bars from a F-250/7700 lb. truck to support the extra weight of that bumper.

if weight is a concern they make them out of aluminum too, really pricey, around christmas they go on sell for like 900 or something thats when i got mine, for the brackets i just made a new set wich are 3inches taller then the ones that come with the bumper so you dont modify the road armor ones, any drilling or welding on the bumper voids the warranty, theres no need to swap torsion bars, mine rides the same with or without my bumper and it doesnt sag my truck has the same rake as it had from factory

I dunno.. maybe it's just me.. but I think your truck looks pretty cool as is.. I think the grill guard looks perfect on your truck.. the black doesnt seem to flow with the rest of your truck.

Maybe I missed the memo, but what's the purpose of the road armor bumper? I mean especially if they make a lighter version in aluminum, it kinda defeats the purpose of it being "armor".
