the rear looks to be a good replacement. Not my thing but it doesnt look out of place sitting there. Now the front one.... man it needs something down below. It looks weird to me the way it just ends at the tow hooks... makes the truck look like it has a big nose or something. IDK maybe its just me.
I would swap the side steps for some black pipe ones to match the look down the side.

I've been thinking about getting one for my truck, buddy of mine does really good fabing on rear bumpers.. Whatd you pay? Just to see if what he was gonna charge was cheap enough to be worth it.. What front are you running? How much do both parts weigh or do you know?

the bumper completed was 650, but im in georgia and had it shipped from texas so, 800 shipped

the rear is a Southwest Fabricators weight approx 170 or so
the front is a Ranchhand weight approx same thing
im not that sure of the weight, the rear already sagged a little and the length of the rear one makes it look a little lower, but its fine with me

i have pictures of back, i just need to get one without lisence plate in it

IMO, they would look 10x better PTM with the lower paint.

Where abouts in GA are you?

Thanks a bunch man, my friend quoted me 450 to build a rear one, he said it was a few weeks before he could get to it, but I might think about it!

not too bad but not something I would want on my truck. I've been kicking around the possibilities of replacing my rear bumper but honestly there's not much out there I like. If I could just get some tow hooks back there and some jacking points for the high lift like they do on jeep customs then perhaps. This winter I may try to build it myself.

ive got a few shots of the same rear end in my albums if anyone wants to see the rear view. it ran me $250, but im in texas. that was several years ago too, may have gone up.

Rancher- looks great man! i think you're gonna like it: mine's held up well thru several years of coastal conditions while i was in galveston. makes a great parking indicator too- just back up til you bump.
