[QUOTE="BenBB, post: 1333467, member: 20185"] Exactly! I feel your pain man. That Hellion looks damn good, even better at full width, and them willing to customize for you also makes a difference. Not to make things worse, but I decided early on I wanted a frame chop bumper, that narrowed it down by like half. Then I had to decide about lights; SVC Smurf is definitely one of the best looking frame chop bumpers, but what about a light bar? I didn't like the optional lip sticking out but that's one option, behind the grill is another but you lose half the light output, windshield mount is doable but then you're dealing with wind whistle...SVC's Baja bumper has provision for a 30" bar, but RPG's Trophy and ADD Venom lets you stuff in a 40"...Forged is set up for a 20" which would be great if you already had one in a stock bumper, but I don't. Then I got to thinking that full smurf style might be detrimental to airflow, which is probably marginal with the stock design and even that has a pretty healthy hole in the center of the bumper. And why do none besides stock offer any protection for the front LCA pivot points?! Or an aluminum skidplate that extends down under the engine? Then the rear, I knew if I got them both at the same time I'd save on freight; RPG has one with provisions for backup sensors but I can live without those. If I pulled a trailer a lot the RPG probably has the best hitch, tucked up 4", but I don't. I like the SVC Baja V3 rear a lot but there's no pull points; shackles would be better but I figured I'd just use a receiver hitch shackle. A couple backup S2's would be nice but I'll have to mount them myself. And tuck the trailer lighting up behind it. And not break my face trying to step up and get into the bed. That Forged rear is the best I've seen, wish I found it sooner :( [/QUOTE]
