Good decision. I like the bumpers, hate rollpans.

I'm not a fan of roll pans. The bumper look much better IMO.

I like it too, especially the chrome front bumper. It makes it look complete.

Re: Off with new on with Old

Did you have any issues installing the bumper brackets? Were your frame end rails cut off because of the front pan? Who's bumpers did you buy? Looks like they fit good.

Yes the front frame was cut but going to add metal braces to stock bumper brackets .The front bumper was bought from CL add unknown brand and the rear was from (eb**) . Just need to get rid of those big truck mirrors for the smaller sport style .

Thanks

Looks much better. Rear roll pans are ok sometimes but I never like them on the front.

Could you post some pictures of how the mounting of your front brackets looks? I have a front roll pan, but concerned about the ability to mount the bumper brackets when the nose of the rails have been cut off. Thanks
