[QUOTE="DMays, post: 1812236, member: 45834"] I had the ADD front and rear on my gen 2 and now I have them on my gen 3. I feel ADD is doing a bit of price gouging on the new ones, but it is what it is. They make great fitting bumpers with nice designs. I am in construction and have a very deep understanding of material costs and it hasn't risen as much as their price has. But with that being said labor is more expensive than ever. Between materials increases, labor increases, and fuel cost being insane I think their pricing may be a bit high for sure but not totally in left field. Jeep has tons of options and a lot of competition. I think all parts associated with a raptor will always be more than a jeep due to limited buyers market and the buyers most likely having a bit more disposable income on average than jeep owners. I just call it a raptor tax. Not saying there aren't plenty of jeep owners with deep pockets but there are also tons of jeep parts for the deep pocket buyers as well. Fab4s or similar will offer a cheaper option if they don't already but I think they offer a cheaper appearance as well. If I am going to pay $90k for a truck I don't like slapping cheap parts on it. We have all seen raptors that appear to be built with your local auto part store shelf options and it isn't my ideal look personally. These trucks look great and perform great as is from the factory and ultimately it comes down to how much are you willing to pay to make it your ideal setup. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
