Sport Bumper!
I think it will look good but also give some protection in case some soccer mom on the cell phone don't stop quick enough.

I'm familiar with MudDrags/dragracing people make a Drilled out piece of aluminum on the back to "Bend" the rules... this what your talking about?

i agree, i love the look of the roll pans but as posted the idea of getting hit and demolishing the truck scares the crap out of me.

the truck will be Bagged pretty dang low i just go down alot of dirt roads so theres the reason its a foot off the ground right now, and not on 22s.

Cancer is eating alot of the truck up IE: drip rails, floor pans and rocker panels.
and the antenna and gas cap and maybe other parts are going to be shaved off i figured i would figure this roll pan idea out while i was doing the body work.

IMO that stock bumper isnt going to stop the bed from getting demolished if a soccer mom hits you..

its still going to get pushed into the bed.

I'll somewhat disagree

My truck was rear ended about a year ago. The bumper saved the bed, etc. Had I been hit really hard, yeah the bed would have been messed up, but most rear endings are at low speed from idiots who aren't paying attention. I was hit by a car, had I been hit by an SUV, it may have messed my bed up/maybe not because my truck is at stock height. The car that hit me kinda went under the truck a little bit.

By the way, a "sport" bumper is just what people call the rear bumper that kinda looks like the front bumper. The one on my truck is a "sport" bumper.

I say go for the roll pan. If something happens, it's going to mess things up regardless.

If your going to smooth out other stuff then rollpans look good. But if it's just the back..... get a sport bumper. Plus it's a 10 minuter replacement job

My 2 cents

d10s69c10 · 07-23-2008, 04:47 PM

yeha i guess a roll pan would be my best bet.seeing as how the Final goal looks in my head.

WHo makes the best one/one that fit.
