 truck bumper thoughts....
My 2015 Chevrolet 2500hd dmax is in need of a front bumper. My 2011 2500hd had a Ranchhand brush guard and I really liked it. It stood up to a couple deer meet and greets and came out well. I was at the local Chevy dealership and seen the Tuscany Black Ops trucks and liked the front bumper. I believe its a Fab Four bumper with winch. I got to looking at bumpers on the net and was blown away with the price of the Fab Four bumper. I am wanting something similiar to the Fab Four bumper with winch. Any thoughts or suggestions? Know where to get the best price on bumpers? Or a good used Fab Four bumper to fit my truck?? Thanks in advance. Netman

Not sure where you're located because I'm on tapatalk. I have front and rear ranch hands on my dodge. Both were around $700-$800

 Re: truck bumper thoughts....
I have a Herd on my truck. Love it. It's won against 2 mulee's and a goat at highway speeds and is no worse for wear. Definitely wasn't cheap though.

 Re: truck bumper thoughts....
Any of you guys with bumpers using the RH bullnose bumper? I like the original type RH but may change up my trucks looks a little.

 Re: truck bumper thoughts....
Ive run the Ranch Hand bumper replacements in the past. They held up very well. The last one I had was on when I an idiot pull out in front of me when I was hauling cows. The energy that bumper absorbed was unreal. I wish I had pictures of the truck. I wish they made them Nissan's.

 Re: truck bumper thoughts....
Aluminess makes some badass bumpers. They cost more but they're all aluminum. No rusty...

 Re: truck bumper thoughts....
Also checkout HammerHead bumpers that are made in Mississippi. They are some of the strongest bumpers i have seen. So strong that several LTL fleets are installing them for the over the road drivers rigs.

 Re: truck bumper thoughts....
Thanks guys. I'm leaning toward the rh bull nose however I'm looking at the recommendations. Where can I sell the new factory stock bumper? Is there a guesstimate price for the stock bumper?

 Re: truck bumper thoughts....
I was quoted 900+ dollars for a replacement factory bumper from a dealer once. So I would think that if it's in good shape without a bunch of rock chips and what not you could easily sell it for 500 or so. But that's a guess. When they quoted me 900 I called ranch hand and bought a bumper from them. That was 10 years and 5 trucks ago and I still to this day run ranch hand.
I guess I should be more specific. The 900 quote included the lower valace, fog lights, wiring for fog lights, and installation of the bumper. It was still CHEAPER with ranch hand. And that is including fog lights, as well as installation.
