Try Southwest Fabricators. They are less costly, and I believe a better product than ranch hand Web Site <br>Southwestfabricators.com or 1 800 815 4348<br>

Where as I could get Ranchhand to build a bumper, then torch cut light holes and get the Piaa lights cheaper. Plus RanchHand rates there bumpers at 10,000. I wouldn't want to tow that much off any bumper..If your trailer is that big, get a Gooseneck

Unfortunately, not straight oout of The RoadWarrior. Their stuff is too expensive for steel, never mind aluminum IMHO. I took AliArc's basic concept which was building something out of aluminm as that was the only good idea they have. I redesigned a bumper with greater height, added a rake for lower protection, and used heavier material and solid welds so it wouldn't fall apart if one was to hit a coyote. It worked out well. Attached is a picture of it on my '98 here in Edmonton.

Re:Real Bumpers
$800 for the rear bumper is way to high. I am getting mine for the rear for $309.00
It retails for $594.00. Pays to know some people. The $309 is cost on the rear bumper. Thats the cowboy one, not the one with the big drop on it.-
The shop where i am buying the rear bumper said that they have the 03 front bumpers in but they look horrible on the trucks. They said that it does not fix up close enough to the lights. They said to wait a little while untill they make it better because the first runs do not look good.
They are getting $945 installed for thoses. No lights or anything.
Shop around, ever place i have called has given a different price.
